But again, it&#8217;s pure speculation at this point. That is the reason that it really weighs on my heart, that we get that message out there. We have got to have working smoke detectors in these homes.&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Brooks identified the adult victim at a news conference Tuesday, as Brittany Stewart, 24. The identities of the three children killed have not been released pending notification of all relatives. The children were ages 5, 2 and 1. Edwin Harris, 31, was injured when he tried to re-enter the house to get others out. Harris remained hospitalized on Tuesday. Investigators have determined that the home was without electricity, and there was a wood burning stove. Brooks said at this point he did not know if the stove was in use when the fire broke out. Authorities do not suspect foul play. In 2020, there were zero fire fatalities in Smith County, there have already been 5 in less than two weeks in 2021. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; A woman and three children died Monday in a house fire in Winona.
