Ohio mother and two adult children die in devastating house fire

A tragic house fire in Ohio has claimed the lives of a mother and her two adult children. Mary Ann Schwartz, along with her son Sol Archambault and daughter Aislynne Coffaro, died in the blaze while neighbours tried desperately to help.

The fire broke out while Schwartz was cooking dinner. She attempted to rescue her children but was overcome by the flames. Neighbours rushed to the scene but could not reach the family in time.

Over 50 firefighters arrived to battle the fire, which spread rapidly through the home. Despite their efforts, the intensity of the blaze made it difficult to bring under control quickly.

Authorities have not confirmed any official fundraising efforts for the family.

The incident has left the community in shock. Emergency crews worked through the night to secure the scene. Investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing.
