There was no immediate word on what caused the early morning fire on the Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug First Nation. ‘We are in utter disbelief’
A mother and four of her children were killed in a house fire on a northern Ontario First Nation on Thursday, leaving the remote community struggling to deal with the tragedy.
The woman had another older daughter who was away when the blaze broke out, he said, adding that three of her children were adopted. “While we mourn now, we will be looking to seek solutions, with all parties to prevent any future unnecessary deaths of First Nations citizens due to fire.” “Our prayers are with the victims, their families and the entire community during this difficult time,” Fiddler said in a statement. Both federal and provincial politicians offered their condolences.
