Mother tried to save her kids
By Russ Krebs/Tribune StaffTuesday, Feb 26, 2008

...Sloup said the conditions inside the home is making the
investigation difficult.

He said all of the rooms and hallways were filled with clothing and
other items, allowing a small path to walk. A ceiling also had
collapsed.

"They were faced with a challenge from the get go and they worked
through it," Sloup said of the firefighters.

As of the end of the day Monday, he hadn't come up with a preliminary
cause for the fire and had made it through just one room of the house.

Meyer said firefighters initially tried to get into the house, but
had to retreat and fight a defensive battle.

"The guys couldn't get in more than 10 feet," he said. "We had a
report of people trapped, but we couldn't make access. There was just
too much stuff in the house, too much fire."

Reading this story brought me to tears not only for this poor family but with the realization that this could be my children. This is a reality that can happen in any hoarders house and my family has been lucky. This is just one more reason that it's time for a change. My prayers go out to them.
