‘Person of interest’ questioned in apartment fire that killed 5 in Detroit

The Detroit Arson Task Force is questioning “a person of interest” tonight after a large fire swept through an apartment on the east side and killed five people and seriously injured four others.

The fire broke out at 1:25 p.m. at Whittier and Beaconsfield. Wind gusts of 50 mph fanned the flames as firefighters struggled to reach some of the residents.

At least four people jumped out of the window and were taken to the hospital. Four others were dead when firefighters found them. A fifth was rescued but died at the hospital.
