“No lead is preferred” and “investigations are continuing in order to identify the origin of the fire”, with the assistance of expert fire technicians from the interdepartmental service of the judicial police (SIPJ) of the North, indicated late Monday afternoon the Béthune prosecutor Etienne Thieffry. The investigation, entrusted to the SIPJ of Pas-de-Calais, “is open on the grounds of deliberate destruction by fire leading to death in order to allow the broadest investigations”, he underlined.
Two heroes
The Europe 1 correspondent in the North was able to meet the two heroes who were able to save the family's two other children. “We heard the children screaming then an explosion,” Marc told our microphone. As soon as he understands that something serious is happening, he has only one idea in mind, to get out the two boys stuck on the first floor while their house catches fire.

“They were at the window edge. And then I saw a little smoke. I took my ladder and we went to take them down. It was carnage. They were crying. And then there was panic. Afterwards, I put them at home, safe. And then we tried to do something,” Marc explained to Europe 1.
