Investigators are working to determine the cause behind a deadly fire in Philadelphia that took the lives of 12 people on Wednesday.
One avenue being pursued is whether a child under the age of five playing with a lighter under a tree could have sparked the blaze, according to Jane Roh, spokesperson for the Philadelphia District Attorney's office.
Other potential causes are also being examined, Roh said, and there are currently no plans to bring charges against anyone in relation to the fire.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
