Firefighters were called to the house fire after neighbors called for help. Their statements say that 31-year-old Giovanna Cabrera was in the home and successfully helped two children, ages 9 and 6, escape the blaze.

There’s been no statement on what may have caused the fire. Folks tend to assume house fires are always due to things like an open flame, a space heater, or a cooking mishap. A proper investigation, though, covers a lot more than that. It’s possible there was a gas leak. There may have been a botched water heater installation. The house may have had faulty wiring. An appliance may have had a manufacturer’s defect. These are not the kinds of factors firefighters can rule out overnight, which is why it generally takes extensive investigations into these incidents before there are clear answers for the victims’ loved ones.
