I thought the mother was found DOA on first floor in front of the front door and the son was found on the 2nd floor. Its states both were found on 2nd floor. Also what was the final investigation.

Don in the initial size up report, what does "doubtful" mean?

Thanks for your video. I can't like this one, but you did a good job. My love and support goes out to all the FF's who so desperately wanted to get into the house to save Mom and son. May you find comfort in knowing you tried your best.

May everyone affected by this fire find some peace and comfort in the support of strangers like me.
