Hot Embers Likely Caused Fire
Fire investigators are reportedly focusing on the ashes of a Yule log as the cause of the fire that killed five people in Stamford Christmas morning.
Embers from the log may have been placed in a bucket as Madonna Badger and her boyfriend, Michael Borcina went to bed, according to the New York Daily News. A short time later, the house was engulfed in flames, killing Badger's three children, Lily, 10, and 7-year-old twins, Grace and Sarah and her parents, Lomer and Pauline Johnson, who were visiting for the holiday from Southbury.
Badger and Borcina both escaped the flames.
Stamford Mayor Michael Pavia said Tuesday that foul play had been ruled out and that the blaze was "fireplace-related." He did not elaborate.
