48-year-old Ibrahim Adem, 43-year-old Abdusalem Adem, 7-year-old Anaya Adem and 6-year-old Aaliyah Adem were found by the Clark County Fire Department day of the fire.
A mother and child who jumped to escape the fire are still recovering at a hospital.
First responders arrived around 4:15 a.m. on Oct. 24 at Langhorne Creek Street. This is near Jones Boulevard and Shelbourne Avenue.
Arriving crews would discover a three-story home with fire coming from the second and third-floor windows. The first crew tried to enter the home, but were pushed out by the heat.
The fire was extinguished at 4:22 a.m. The four were found at 6:03 p.m. The home collapsed.
Clark County Fire confirmed that the house fire did not spread to other homes, but initial 911 callers believed the fire was spreading to two.
“There’s a fire behind me on Hunter Brook Street. The whole house is going down,” said a 911 caller. “Someone is inside screaming.”
