ROCHFORT BRIDGE, ALTA.—The family of the five people whose bodies were found in the ruins of a northern Alberta house fire say the victims were a couple and their three grandkids. They say the children had been living with Marvin and Janet Gibbs, who had been married for seven years. Marvin Gibbs’ daughter, Mysty Schallock, says the children were her stepsister’s kids. Emergency crews were called about the blaze in the hamlet of Rochfort Bridge near Mayerthorpe, about 100 kilometres from Edmonton, on Thursday afternoon. Schallock noted her father had been a volunteer firefighter, and she expressed dismay over how such a tragedy could have happened.
