Authorities believe that fire was not accidental. An arrest was made Nov. 24 in connection to her death, and the injury of another minor.
Nicole Ashley Jackson, 27, the mother of both children involved, was taken into custody. A witness told officials that Jackson was home at the time of the fire, but she was unaccounted for during the rescue of her daughters.
