Part one of two covering the fire that claimed the lives of six children and the stories of those who fought bravely to save them.
Sadly the death of Duwayne, Jade, John, Jack, Jesse and Jayden, are often forgotten, or tainted by the deeds of their killers this episode seeks to shine a light on their short lives.
episode 2 will be about the events leading up to the fire, and the perpetrators.

In August 1988, a man was arrested for stealing a microwave and a mantel clock, what police didn't know was that this man wanted to be like his idol Jack the Ripper, and had secrets to hide.
