They say the mom wasn’t home at the time when she called 911 to report the father intended to burn the house down. Firefighters arrived to the home engulfed in flames where they located a 5-year-old, 8-year-old and 3-year-old who died. Surveillance video shows a man walking out of the house as the flames erupted in the back of the home. This is a developing story.
