The fire also damaged neighboring homes. Officials, including Jeannette Mayor Curtis J. Antoniak, emphasized the emotional toll on first responders. Investigators are working to determine the cause, while the Red Cross is assisting affected families.
Family and friends are remembering the victims. Miranda’s cousin, Natasha Reaggle, described Kinzleigh’s cheerful nature, Kyson’s artistic talent, Keagan’s love of dinosaurs, and baby Korbyn as a source of joy. Tyler was remembered as a kind man with an infectious smile and deep love for his family.
The community has rallied to support the survivors, donating clothing, funds, and essentials. Prayer vigils have offered a space for mourning and unity, while schools are providing counseling for students and staff. Donations are being accepted at local businesses and organizations, with specific clothing sizes shared for those wishing to help.
As the community grieves, their resilience shines through. Natasha expressed the collective sentiment: “We’re rallying around each other, praying for those we lost and for those still with us.”
