Fire,
Four letters,
One word,
How could one small word,
Take the life of three people?

Fire,
Four letters,
One word,
Three dead,
Sister,
Father,
Grandmother.

Fire,
Four letters,
One word,
Three dead,
One living,
Twin,
Daughter,
Grandchild.

Fire,
Four letters,
One word,
Three dead,
One living,
Thousands effected,
Friends,
Family,
Strangers.
