During an investigation, deputy fire marshals found the bodies of four people believed to have been living there — 49-year-old Fred Cleveland, 33-year-old Racienda Russell, a 6-year-old child and a 4-year-old.

The four bodies have been sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for positive identification and for autopsies, according to the dispatch report. Their family has been notified.
