All seven died and police identified them as Sarah Stolzfus, 34, four sons, ages 11, 10, 5 and 3, and two daughters, ages 8 and 6.The cause of the fire is under investigation and police believe a propane leak inside the home may have caused the explosion.(AP)They noted that exterior propane tanks did not explode and were not contributing factors for the explosion and fire. Neighbor Christina Duck told WNEP-TV she was eating breakfast when it began.“And I heard a boom and I could feel it and I got up and looked out the window and I could see the flames through the windows and I come running outside and within a minute the whole house was completely engulfed,” Duck said. The family moved in a couple of months ago, Duck said, noting that she often saw the children outside playing.
