Even worse than if it was accidental. So many of these type of incidents seem to be deliberate

Not a subject to speculate about while so few facts are known.

I'd agree with Dave, the speculation is from Neighbours rather than based on any official statement.
More importantly though I think its pretty Crass of the Derbyshire Times website to preceed their video report of the fire with an advert for Google Chrome (accompanied totally inappropriately by the William Tell Overture) where one scene show someone retrieving a smoking burnt dinner from the oven.
Insensitive doesnt start to cover it.

Agree with Dave and JR, it's far to easy to make speculations and I for one wouldn't like to see tittle tattle on here  :(
My heart goes out to the families involved x

From the DT naming the people who sadly lost their lives  :(
I hope/presume this information is correct.

Drove past it today whilst doing the 96 Chesterfield to Alfreton. Certainly made me feel upset. BBC vans & police & flowers in front of their house.
So shocking, I hope the 7 year old girl who escaped the blaze is OK. I can't bear to think whats going through her mind at the moment poor child.
I just hope that something sinister has not gone on here as media have hinted at.
Let the investigators determine the cause of the fire before jumping to conclusions/speculation which upset other remaining family, who must be going through hell as it is.

Apparently - according to Peak FM this morning - arson/foul play has been ruled out.
