New developments from fatal fire

TEXAS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - The fire that killed four children Saturday morning could have been caused by the children playing with a cigarette lighter, the family said.

The renter of the house, Kalamazoo native Patricia Jordan, told 24 Hour News 8 she removed the smoke detectors because "something was wrong with them."

Jordan lost her job as a nurse in Detroit and moved back to West Michigan. She rented the home, 6835 N Ave., in Texas Township, then moved to California.

While she was there, some family members were living in the rented house, including her children and grandchildren.
