In a tragic incident that has deeply affected the community of Jeannette, Pennsylvania, a devastating fire claimed the lives of a father and his four young children, leaving an indelible mark of sorrow.
The fire erupted around midnight on Wednesday, March 20, at the family’s home on Guy Street. Inside, a family of eight (two parents and their six children), battled the flames that swiftly consumed their residence.
The Westmoreland County coroner has identified the victims as 27-year-old Tyler King and his children: seven-year-old Kyson John, six-year-old Kinzleigh John, three-year-old Keagan John, and one-month-old Korbyn John.
In a frantic race against the raging inferno, firefighters were able to rescue the mother, Miranda John, alongside two of her children, ten-year-old Kayden John and one-year-old Kash John. Currently, Miranda is in stable condition, with her sons fighting for their lives in the ICU in critical condition.
