STAMFORD, Conn. — Investigators plan to re-interview the two survivors of a Christmas morning fire in which three young girls and their grandparents died.
Police and fire officials say they agreed to give Madonna Badger and Michael Borcina time to mourn the loss of Badger’s daughters and parents. Police Capt. Conklin says, “But now we’re moving ahead on that.”
Badger and Borcina, a friend and contractor who had been renovating the house, managed to escape the fire. Badger is a New York City advertising executive.
The Hartford Courant reported Thursday that officials want to determine whether the house had working smoke detectors.
Authorities say embers in a bag of discarded fireplace ashes started the blaze.
