City police and fire officials are expected to release details at a news conference Friday.

The Feb. 18 fire killed 14-year-old Gage Reavey, 13-year-old Greg Kugler, 12-year-old Kandee Kugler and 6-year-old Kaiden Kugler.

Firefighters were able to rescue their 30-year-old mother, Bobbie Kugler, and her 2-year-old son, Tyron Jackson, from the home's first floor. But flames kept them from reaching the children trapped upstairs.

A family friend and two teens escaped by jumping from second-floor windows.
