According to reports, a man bravely re-entered the burning home in an attempt to save his family. Details surrounding the extent of any injuries remain limited.
The fire forced the family to seek temporary shelter in a trailer, as detailed in reporting from TVA Nouvelles. The most significant damage was caused by smoke, according to initial assessments.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the fire, which originated with the air fryer. Further coverage of the incident is available on social media.
