Connecticut Christmas blaze kills five

Five people, including three children, were killed Christmas morning when fire tore through a home in Stamford, Conn., firefighters said. The Stamford Advocate said the blaze broke out shortly before dawn. There was no word on whether anyone in the home survived the fire. Mayor Michael Pavia told reporters at the scene that cause of the blaze had not been determined. "At this point we have nothing further to say except that our hearts and prayers go out to the family and to the fire and emergency personnel on the scene," Pavia said.
