I can't imagine what the parents are going thru. That's just heart breaking.

There is not much that tears at my heart any more than the death of a child by any means, but to envision the horrific death that they most likely experienced in a fast moving blaze like that leaves people devastated and in shock. The neighbors and children that went to school with those kids, as well as the first responders on scene have to be seriously traumatized.
For those of us that remember Bobbiez from here on the forum, she lost 3 grandchildren to a fire in the city of Utica back in the late 70's. I remember that fire to this day, and those that recover the bodies must suffer from PTSD with the visions of those burnt little bodies. I stopped riding a commercial ambulance as an EMT because I was taking the bloody images, and the painful sounds of the seriously injured home with me, and it made for some restless and sleepless nights. Recovering the body of a little kid would be something that I would have never been able to scrub from my mind.

That house looks old enough to possibly be built using balloon construction with no firestops in between the studs. Those old houses burn like a paper bag. Fire deaths always rock the entire community, probably because everyone realizes what a horrible death it must be to burn to death or suffocate from smoke inhalation. The first responders will probably be offered counseling for images that will forever be burned into their minds.
