==============================================
This is in my town. This is a horrific story about five children killed in a house fire Friday night. The question on everybody's mind right now is, "Where were the adults in the home?" This is being investigated by the ATF, and local authorities. We have no certified Fire Inspectors in the whole County!

Five grandchildren of an Arizona fire department employee were killed in a blaze while their dad left them home alone to go Christmas shopping, authorities said.
Four siblings — boys ages 2, 5 and 13 and their 4-year-old sister — died alongside an 11-year-old male relative who was visiting them in their duplex Saturday evening, the Bullhead City Police Department said.
“There were no survivors,” police said of the fire that appears to have started in the downstairs foyer and traveled up the stairs, trapping all five kids in the upstairs bedroom.
“The children’s father reported to investigators that he was gone for approximately 2.5 hours to buy groceries and Christmas gifts,” police said.
Neither the dad nor the kids were identified. It was not immediately clear how the fifth child was related.
However, all five were grandchildren of a Bullhead City Fire Department employee, police said, without identifying the staffer or elaborating on their role.
