FORT MYERS, Fla. — Four people died early Friday and one was seriously injured in a house fire, authorities said.
Police and fire officials arrived shortly before 1 a.m. and confirmed the deaths. Another person was taken to the hospital and a sixth resident managed to get out, said Ken Dobson, spokesman for the Fort Myers Fire Department.
“There did not appear to be any smoke detectors in there, which certainly could have contributed to the tragedy,” Dobson said.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, although Dobson said it did not appear to be suspicious.
