Four people have now died as a result of the fire on Academy Street back in January.

Channel 9 spoke to the children’s father after flames ripped through the home in the early morning hours on Jan. 2. He said he feared he would lose his entire family.

A 2-year-old girl, a 9-year-old boy and the children’s mother had already passed away from their injuries.

Officials said the fire was accidental and caused by unattended candles.
