This play took place in Australia. A house fire on Freeman Street in Lawler Park (Western Sydney) was reported overnight (July 7). Rescuers and police rushed to the spot.
At first, firefighters couldn’t get in, but when they forced open the door and put out the fire, it was too late to save three of the seven children. There was still hope when firefighters pulled the children out of the home. Tragically, the two boys, aged 3 and 6, were taken to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition and died soon after. The third victim of the tragedy, a 10-month-old baby girl, was discovered by firefighters while putting out the fire. For about 40 minutes, the rescuers fought for his life and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but no miracle happened.
According to Australian police, the remaining four children (a 9-year-old girl and three boys aged 11, 7 and 4) were treated at the scene and taken to Westmead Hospital in a stable condition.
It was the father of the family who set the house on fire
The children’s mother, Stacey Commage (29), was taken to the clinic for smoke inhalation, and her casual partner, Dean Heesman, 28, was arrested and taken to hospital under police guard. Investigators say he intentionally set the house on fire.
This family drama created a shock among those close by. People mention that they were a happy family and often posted photos online with their children. “We love our kids,” the mother reportedly wrote under the photo, “Mum of the best kids. My kids are my world.”
According to the Daily Mail, during a press conference on Sunday, police confirmed that the fire was deliberately set. “Three young lives were taken in very tragic circumstances,” Danny Doherty, head of the police’s homicide unit, told a news conference. As for the arsonist, he added:- These actions were aimed at preventing rescuers and neighbors from entering the property, thereby preventing the rescue of the children.
The neighbors of the family are shocked by this. “Let me die here,” cried the father.
Neighbors who came to the rescue tried to enter inside as the children screamed for help. Unfortunately, the Heisman should make this impossible. The father reportedly tried to get the children inside even as paramedics and firefighters arrived. According to the Daily Mail, Hessman yelled at rescuers to “leave me here to die.”
Blacktown Police Acting Superintendent Jason Pietruska told reporters that when officers arrived at Hessman’s home, he was “distraught.” He praised rescuers for their “heroic” efforts to save the family.
Until now, the police did not know who Heisman was. The house where he lived with his family was owned by a housing cooperative society. One of the neighbors said his daughter was friends with Mr. and Mrs. Heisman’s 9-year-old girl. They went to school together. The man is shocked and says that the family is trouble free, peaceful and happy.
Four siblings rescued from the fire are traumatized. Neighbors sheltered and cared for them.
The house was declared a crime scene
The children’s mother, Stacey Commage, is conscious but unconscious. Investigators will question her as soon as the doctors clear it. Doctors had to put the 28-year-old Heisman in a medically induced coma due to his injuries.
The house was declared a crime scene. The fire completely consumed it. The homicide unit of the state police headquarters, in collaboration with the arson unit, has launched an investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the tragedy.
He demanded compensation and burned his family
