The hockey world is still reeling after a devastating house fire claimed the life of beloved NHL reporter Jessi Pierce and her three young children.
Pierce, 37, and her kids — Hudson, 8, Cayden, 6, and Avery, 4 — were killed when a fast-moving fire tore through their home in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, early Saturday morning. A family dog also perished in the blaze.
Now, authorities are providing an update on the cause of the fire.
A sudden, unimaginable tragedy
No matter your love for hockey, the heartbreaking loss of Jessi Pierce and her three children hits hard. Known as a “ray of sunshine,” Pierce and her kids died in a tragic house fire on Saturday, sending shockwaves through the hockey world.
According to officials, firefighters responded to a frantic 911 call from neighbors who reported flames shooting through the roof of the home and feared people were trapped inside.
By the time first responders arrived, the house was already fully engulfed.
Neighbor Julie Andrus, who had lived next door to the family for years, described the terrifying moment:
”We were sleeping. By the time the cops woke us, it was like a tornado of smoke.”
She remembered the family fondly, calling them “so nice” and sharing that the children were often seen playing happily outside.
