Overview
- Fire crews found the Woodbine Street house engulfed in flames early Saturday and security footage shows multiple people inside.
- Two residents escaped while three others died, and the charred property is now fenced off with 'keep out' signs.
- Redford Township Fire Chief Chris Mayes described the home as an adult foster care setting but the Michigan Bureau of Community and Health Systems says the address is not and never has been licensed.
- Investigators from local and state agencies continue an active probe and have not yet determined the cause or released identities of the victims.
- Neighbors and relatives returned to the scene to collect belongings, and the lack of a state license could trigger regulatory review of unlicensed group-care operations.
