Report On Deadly Annapolis-area Mansion Fire To Be Released

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- The final report on an Annapolis-area mansion fire that killed six people is scheduled to be released Wednesday morning.

Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spokesman Dave Cheplak tells the Capital of Annapolis that the 43-page report on the fire will include a summary of the investigation into the blaze, including information on the fire's origin.

The ATF and county fire officials worked together on the investigation and report. Initially expected to be released in May, the report was delayed as the ATF investigated fires set during the Baltimore riots this spring.

Investigators have said an electrical fire engulfed a 15-foot Christmas tree inside the mansion on Jan. 19, killing Don and Sandra Pyle and four of their grandchildren.
