State, federal investigators probe fire that killed 4
DUNMORE (AP) — State and federal investigators are trying to find out what started a fire in a northeastern Pennsylvania building that claimed the lives of a mother and three of her children and sent two other family members to hospitals.
Officials say the blaze reported just before midnight Monday in a Dunmore building claimed the lives of 26-year-old Ebony Thompson, her 5-year-old son London Session and her 2-year-old daughter Tiara Session.
Officials say Thompson’s husband and their two other children were hospitalized. Her 1-year-old son, Dallas Session, died overnight at Lehigh Valley Hospital. Chief Chris DeNaples of the Dunmore fire department said one firefighter was treated for a back injury.
State police fire marshals were back at the scene Wednesday and agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also investigating.
