View Comments Investigators of a February house fire in Kokomo that killed three young siblings could not determine a cause of the fire but said they "cannot rule out" the possibility one of the children started the blaze in an upstairs bedroom. A "human element" likely played a role in the Feb. 27 house fire in the 13000 block of South County Road 300 East in Miami County that killed Miracle Gingerich, 6, Steven Gingerich, 5, and Wilma Gingerich, 1, according to Miami County Sheriff's Sgt. Gary Glassburn. Investigators found no evidence that "faulty equipment or other ignition sources" like wiring, outlets or a power strip started the fire and noted interviews with family members revealed one of the children had previously set fires in the house.
