Orofino, Idaho Home Fire Kills 5, Started By Extension Cord Hooked To Electric Grill

This article depicts the mournful loss of a family due to monstrous fire in Boise, Idaho.  The fatalities included two adults, and three teens. The family had been cookin on the grill on theor porch the night before. The grill was plugged into an extension cord and never unplugged. Firfighters think that this may have caused the fire.   It was quite a shock for the town, because they have had very sparse fatalities due to fires. It is a terribly sad story.

 The author uses logos including specific details about the fire including the cause of the fire, a shorted out extension cord. The author intimates his use of logos, including quotes from knowledgable sources to verify the information, such as firefighters. The author includes the detail that one of the teens was a friend "who was sleeping over to help celebrate a birthday." This adds to the pathos because what was supposed to be a celebratory, happy event, turned out to be a devastating one.  The author concludes, adding to the mournful tone, with a statement from a firefighter which explains the pain the fatalities caused for the town. ""It's sad," he said. "I was just at the scene. There are already some teddy bears and flowers and things, a memorial put up there by some of the townspeople.""
