JACKSON BROTHERS LISTED IN SERIOUS TO CRITICAL CONDITION IN BURN CENTER - Mud Fork Fire Kills Four

(03/21/2013)

Fire marshals and investigators have yet to give a reason for a Mud Fork, Calhoun, fire that killed Darlene Gooslin, 57, and her three grandchildren, Ryan Jackson, 7, Patricia Jackson, 6, and Aryanna Jackson, 5. The children were students at Big Otter Elementary School. Authorities were at the scene for about three days, sorting through the debris of the mobile home. Fire struck the dwelling at 5 a.m. March 14. Barely escaping the blaze, Darlene Gooslin's two sons, Benjamin Jackson, 35, and his brother David Jackson, 40, both still listed in serious to critical condition in Cabell-Huntington Burn Center. Officials said Benjamin Jackson suffered burns over 45% of his body, and David Jackson, while burned, was suffering from inhalation of heated smoke. Funerals for the Jackson children will be held at the Wilson-Shamblin-Smith Funeral Home in Clay. See INVESTIGATORS RETURN TO TRAGIC FIRE SCENE - Four Die In Early Morning Mud Fork Blaze
