Twins Sarah and Grace were 7 years old; their older sister Lily, 10. Their grandparents were Lomer and Pauline Johnson. Madonna Badger, mother and daughter of the victims, and her friend Michael Borcino, escaped the fire. She is a 47-year-old marketing executive.

Conneticut officials had the Victorian mansion razed on Monday, deeming it a fire hazard to a curious and grieving public. Fire officials said Monday on morning television shows that the cause of the fire that burned the three-story home had been determined before the structure was razed.
