Investigators are scouring for clues about what sparked a deadly, fast-moving house fire that killed five people, including three children, on a sunny spring afternoon.
The fire broke out Sunday afternoon, on a street full of single-family homes in the middle class neighborhood of Queens Village.
Officials are still trying to piece together who the victims are, and how or if they were all related. The victims ranged in age from 2 to 21, plus one adult who was somewhat older.
There is no immediate theory on what started the blaze. A burned-out car was found behind one of the homes, and witnesses reported hearing loud booms, but Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro says it didn't appear there was an explosion.
