COLUMBUS, Ohio — Fire officials in Ohio say a blaze that killed five people in Columbus started near a second-floor electrical panel.
Fire Battalion Chief Doug Smith says Saturday’s fire has been ruled an accident. Smith says the blaze started in the apartment’s living room.
The fire killed a 40-year-old woman and four children ages 5, 7, 10 and 12. Authorities believe the victims may have been related.
Water sprayed by firefighters turned to ice in the bitter cold.
