11:55 a.m. Wednesday (AP) — Wichita authorities have identified two adults and two young children killed in a mobile home fire.
Fire Marshal Brad Crisp on Wednesday identified the four victims as 21-year-old Amanda Nichols; her 1-year-old son, Isaaca; 27-year-old Camaron McGowan, and his 2-year-old son, K’dyn McGowan.
They were killed in the fire at the mobile home early Tuesday. Crisp says firefighters found all four in the same bedroom.
Crisp says autopsies have been completed, but the cause of death and the cause of the fire had not been released.
Three people in the mobile home escaped. Those three people, a firefighter and a neighbor who helped, sustained minor injuries.
8:40 a.m. Tuesday (AP) — Wichita fire officials say four family members, including two children, have been killed in a mobile home fire.
Fire Chief Ron Blackwell said that the four family members died in a fire at their mobile home early Tuesday. Three other people were injured. He says the two children were found sleeping side-by-side in a bed.
Their identities have not been released.
Blackwell says another nearby fire in a mobile home was reported about four hours earlier, but officials don’t think the fires are related. One person was also injured in the first fire.
Fire officials are investigating the causes.
