LOGANSPORT, IN. — Officials are still determining the cause of the fire that engulfed a home in Cass County earlier today, but newly released images show the extent of the horrifying tragedy. Firefighters were at the scene in the dark hours of the morning as they battled the enormous flames.
Authorities have confirmed four children and two adults as fatalities of the fire. Cass County Sheriff Randy Pryor revealed that “the six are still believed to be inside the home that burned early Wednesday,” reported AP. New Waverly Fire Department Lt. Steve Crispen added that two adults were rescued from the fire and are currently in the hospital.
