Funeral Held for 12 Victims of Fairmount Fire

A funeral service was held for the nine children and three adults who were killed in a fire in Philadelphia’s Fairmount neighborhood nearly two weeks ago. NBC10’s Rosemary Connors shows us how the community is remembering the victims.

[@shondasmith5470]

Thank You Cardi B for paying for the family funerals. I'll bet nobody knew about that because the media won't show how celebrities really care about their own js. RIP To All The Deceased Victims &May God Continue to Blessing The Surviving Child.

[@joleneplourde9885]

Cardi paid for the 17 that died in the Bronx fire but I wasn’t aware she paid for the 12 people here. If she did thats wonderful.

[@TannyYem]

I never heard this story and never knew wow God bless her most importantly bless the family and let their heart heal

[@ariam2042]

the smoke detectors were in drawers without batteries or on the floor. whose fault is that?

[@ICONICPARIS]

How do you know this?

[@fransmith8992]

@@ICONICPARIS duh, it was on the news many times. and the news would use the moment to talk about how important working smoke detectors are to prevent a tragedy like this. a whole lot of people take the batteries out or remove the smoke detectors because they go off when people cook.
