Director Frei said: Sincere condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims.
She said: "The Fire Department is currently investigating the cause of the fire in this deadly fire, but after preliminary investigation, it is believed that there is nothing suspicious about the fire. However, the causes of the fire will still be analyzed in depth. In addition, it was pointed out that the fire alarm ordered the Fire Department to dispatch about 40 firefighters and other emergency rescue personnel, and about 5 fire trucks were dispatched to participate in the fire fighting work. Fortunately, the fire did not reach the neighboring houses and was extinguished. However, after the firefighters entered the fire alarm's house, they found 3 people lying down inside, and after the rescue failed, they were declared dead on the spot. At that time, 3 ambulances were present and participated in the rescue of the injured.
In addition, Frye stressed that the operation function of the smoke alarm in the house is still being investigated, and due to the tragedy, there is a need for a certain analysis and investigation of the smoke alarm function.
After extinguishing the fire, investigators set up white tents for temporary investigation work.
Although the fire alarm was extinguished, from yesterday's fire scene, the fire department has sealed off the area near the house with yellow tape for investigation to prevent people from entering; in addition, there is a fire truck and a fire investigation vehicle parked in front of the door of the fire alarm house.
As for the upper and lower windows on the right side of the front of the house, they have been damaged, and some of the walls have been burned black. Investigators also set up a white work tent in the open space in front of the house to allow relevant staff to enter and exit the house to do investigation work.
