PROVIDENCE The state Department of Children, Youth, and Families said Friday that neglect contributed to the deaths of two young sisters from a house fire just before Christmas.
Allison Sandoval, 7, and 2-year-old Ashley were home with other extended family at 10 Lucy St. when a fire broke out mid-afternoon on Dec. 22. The other relatives escaped, then realized the girls were still inside.
