Mobile-home fire kills parents, 2 children, hurts boy

GREENWICH, Ohio (AP) — Two young children and their parents perished in a blaze at an Ohio mobile home Saturday, and a third sibling is being treated for injuries at a hospital.

Ohio fire marshal’s spokesman Shane Cartmill said firefighters were called to the trailer at 6:30 a.m. in Greenwich, along U.S. Route 224 in Huron County and about 75 miles southwest of Cleveland.

John and Lisa Schunatz and their children, 6-year-old Jeffery and 4-year-old Valerie, were killed in the fire.

Daniel Schunatz, 5, was transported to a hospital in Akron, but his condition was not released.

Raymond Reed, manager of the mobile home park, said the Schunatz family had lived there for about five years.

Reed was somber as he watched firefighters clear debris from what was left of the mobile home.

“I’m at a loss for words,” he said. “It’s just a horrific thing.”

The cause of the blaze has not been determined.
