Preliminary results of an investigation by local and state police and fire marshals and the local state’s attorney’s office found that the fire appeared to be a criminal act, police said. The department on Friday labeled all three deaths as suspicious.
Officials did not elaborate, and no arrests had been announced, but they said there is no threat to the public.
