Požar u kući u Denveru, petoro stradalih

Kako su naveli, tri osobe spasile su se skočivši sa drugog sprata kuće, prenosi AP.

Vatrogasci vjeruju da su u požaru poginuli beba, jedno starije dijete i tri odrasle osobe, rekao je kapetan vatrogasnog odjeljenja u Denveru Greg Piksli.

On je dodao da su očevici rekli vatrogascima da su tri osobe u kući na dva sprata skočile i da nisu ozbiljno povrijeđene.

Piksli je istakao da je jedan policajac bezuspješno pokušao da spasi ljude s prvog sprata, kao i da izgleda da su svi koji su poginuli u požaru živjeli na prvom spratu.

A neighbor woke up to this: massive flames engulfing a home in Green Valley Ranch. Five people died: 1 toddler, 1 child and 3 adults. Three others escaped by jumping from the second story. Fire fighters found evidence of arson. Police are also investigating this as a homicide. pic.twitter.com/f1gzt9nczB

Policija, uz pomoć vatrogasaca, istražuje požar jer postoje indicije da je on podmetnut, rekao je lokalni policijski zvaničnik Džo Montoja.
