Names Of Victims Of Fatal Fire Identified

Big Trout Lake First Nation has released the names of the family who passed away in a fatal house fire last week.

47-year-old Geraldine Chapman died, along with her six-year-old daughter and three foster children aged 12, nine, and seven.

The Forensic unit has completed its investigation but they are still holding the scene until the completion of the postmortem.

A GoFundMe campaign has been started by community members.

Chief Donny Morris says the community will address the direct and underlying causes of the fire once they have dealt with the community crisis at hand.
