A release from the fire chief's office says investigators have determined the Tuesday morning fire was set. Deputy Fire Chief Cecil Clay did not immediately return a phone call for additional comment. Clay said earlier that firefighters were called to the blaze on the city's southwest side at 2:22 a.m. and found flames shooting through doors on the first floor of the two-story structure. He says two of the adult victims were on the second floor of the building. A third was found at the bottom of a first-floor stairwell, Clay said. Six other occupants managed to escape, including a woman who injured her back jumping from a window. A man also suffered minor burns when he touched a hot doorknob. The identities of the victims were not immediately released.
