US mobile home fire caused by wood stove kills 6
GEORGIA, United States (AP) — Authorities say a mobile home fire in Georgia started by an improperly installed wood stove killed six people, including four children.
State fire marshal’s office spokesman Glenn Allen tells The Associated Press the mobile home fire happened around 10:30 pm Sunday in Trion.
State investigators on Monday ruled the fire accidental. Allen said they determined that a wood stove that was installed Sunday was placed too close to an interior wall with wood panelling, and that’s what caused the fire.
Allen said the blaze killed 29-year-old Mirion Bradley Jones and his 22-year-old wife Demi Josephine Jones, along with their children: five-year-old Clair McKenzie Jones, three-year-old Lola Rosanna Jones and three-month-old Olivia Josephina Jones. A cousin spending the night, five-year-old Jada Marie Kendrick, also died.
