'No evidence' alarms worked in burnt home
The death of another child raises to five the number who died
in the Hamilton fire.
By Canadian Press, Mon., March 3, 2008
Hamilton -- As the death toll following a devastating blaze inside
a single family west Hamilton home early Saturday climbed to
five, new information has surfaced that suggests the human tragedy
may have been averted had there been working smoke detectors
inside.
A day after the blaze that claimed the lives of a 22-year-old
mother, her three young daughters and a 19-year-old male resident,
fire investigators say they've found "no evidence" to show there
were functioning fire alarms or smoke detectors inside.
Noting this is the fourth fatal fire in Ontario this weekend
alone and that eight people have died, Pierre
YELLE of the Ontario
Fire Marshal's Office said it's time people get the hint.
"The Ontario Fire Marshal's Office urges everyone to have smoke
alarms properly installed inside their homes and ensure they
are in proper working order," he said.
"Smoke alarms are obviously very valuable because they create
an opportunity for you to escape."
YELLE said families also need to devise an escape plan so they
know what to do in the event of a fire emergency.
Investigators have identified the victims of Saturday's blaze
as 22-year-old Melissa
DENHOLLANDER and her daughters Emma
DENHOLLANDER-
HANIGAN,
4, Ella, 2, and Alana, 1.
YELLE said Ella had been evacuated and placed on life support
in hospital immediately after the blaze but later succumbed to
her injuries.
The body of a 19-year-old male, whose name is being withheld
pending notification of next of kin, was discovered in the living
room after firefighters brought the blaze under control.
DENHOLLANDER's 28-year-old boyfriend, Richard
GRIFFIN, remains
at the Hamilton General where he's recovering from burns and
smoke inhalation, while a 20-year-old female has been released
from hospital after treatment.
YELLE said investigators are still trying to determine the origin,
cause and circumstances of the blaze.
