Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The family of three children who died in a horrible late-night house fire yesterday in the Rehab, Cooper Farm Community has blamed the Liberia National Fire Service for not responding to their cries.<\/p>\n

The bodies of the children \u2014 ages 8, 11, and 17 \u2014 were burned beyond recognition after community dwellers struggled to rescue them from the three-bedroom house and a shop that was reportedly destroyed as a result of electric shock. A relative of the grieving family, Ezekiel Freeman, said that the fire broke out at 11:00 pm and they immediately called the LNSF to come to their rescue.However, they were informed that there was no water in the truck to put out the fire.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the little manpower and materials we had, we were unable to rescue the three children. LNFS informed us that they do not have water in the truck to fight the fire. We tried them again but they never responded to us,\u201d Freeman said with grief.<\/p>\n

He added that despite their attempts to break through the walls, the three children were unable to escape and were reduced to ashes by the fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to bury them. We can\u2019t keep them; they were burned beyond recognition. We are so sad and we won\u2019t be able to replace this loss,\u2019\u2019 Freeman added.<\/p>\n

Freeman continued: \u201cWe asked that people refrain from speculation and accusing fingers surrounding the passing of our beautiful children. All we need now is prayers and consolation.\u201cThis is the country we find ourselves in; nobody cares for life and property. How can the Fire Service tell us that they do not have water in their truck to help save lives and property?\u201d Freeman said sadly.<\/p>\n

Watta Thomas, another distressed resident, narrated that the community dwellers came out to fight the fire but the fire was too huge to control. \u201cEverybody came out to help but the fire was too heavy, and we lost three beautiful and smart children.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a mother of four, Thomas is distressed and sad over the loss of the three children and is sending prayers and comfort to the family.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in prayers with the family,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to lose your child, especially in a horrible fire. But God will console and help them. He is the giver of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>According to her, there were no tenants in the house. The house is a family house and the deceased lived there with their parents. \u201cThe house belongs to the family, there were no tenants. We just saw heavy smoke coming out of the house and people started shouting and calling for help.\u201d<\/p>\n
