Dothan Fire Investigators have ruled the fatal fire
at 205 Ginnalou Drive as undetermined. Division Fire Marshal Chris Etherege said the
investigation revealed the fire started
under the home's carport, but they couldn't determine what actually started the
fire.
"We have to leave the case undetermined. We can't say definitively it was started by someone and we can't say definitively it was an accidentally fire because there's no evidence that shows exactly what started it," explained Etheredge.
The fire claimed the lives of 4-year-old Byron Harvey and 1-year -old Ariel Harvey. Those injured in the blaze include: 30-year-old Melissa Harvey, 30-year-old Jermaine Harvey, and Leonard Harvey who is 59 years old.
" My understanding is the entire family was sleep and was awaken by the fire. They just know a tragedy started in their home and they don't understand why," continued Etheredge.
