Investigators still don’t know what caused Springfield’s deadliest fire in more than a quarter-century.
That fire Thursday night at a home on North 9th Street killed four members of the same family. The victims are identified as 63-year-old Victor Hudson, teenage brothers Donald and Deonte Lewis… who all lived at the North 9th address… and 55-year-old Douglas Oaddams, a relative visiting from Chicago.
59-year-old Jacqueline Parnell was rescued by firefighters after climbing out a second story window onto the roof… she is being treated at Memorial Medical Center.
