The community in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is mourning three young lives lost in a devastating Thanksgiving fire.
First responders were called to a fire at 10:39 p.m. on the night of November 27th. The fire was located in an apartment building near 43rd Avenue and 62nd Street.
The building was engulfed in flames as firefighters arrived. The brave firefighters were able to battle their way into the blazing home and extinguished the fire in under 40 minutes, containing it to just a single unit in the apartment complex.
Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of first responders and a selfless father, three young siblings lost their lives as a result of this fire. The children's father was admitted to the hospital for acute smoke inhalation in connection to his attempts to save his children.
9-year-old Conner Kannin and his 10-year-old brother Rylee were pronounced deceased on scene. The brothers' little sister, 7-year-old Alena, was life flighted from the scene but sadly succumbed to her injuries a short time later.
The children's heartbroken mother, Jourdan Feasby, shared the following statement.
"I wanted to share with everyone how amazing these 3 were. Rylee loved drawing & creating things, playing Roblox & having the biggest heart. He always thought about other people and how they felt. Connor was super funny, his laugh would just start making you laugh. He loved doing anything sports related or physical activity. Alena was the sweetest, most carefree soul. She loved to color and play stuffies with her brothers. The three of them were always a 3 pack when it came to each other. Always together. They are the biggest blessings! I will never understand why something like this had to happen to 3 innocent perfect human beings. I love you so much Rylee, Connor, & Alena. I will miss you every minute for forever."
The cause of this devastating fire remains a mystery at this point with local authorities investigating.
Anyone who may have information regarding what could have led to this heartbreaking holiday tragedy is asked to call Detective Marty Howard at 1-262-605-6284.
Our thoughts are with this family as they grieve the loss of three precious young children.
