Jourdan Feasby enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving morning with her three children before sending them to visit their dad for the November 27 holiday. But she did not know what had been a joyful moment would be the last she would share with Rylee Levi, 10, Connor Liam, 9, and Alena Ellen, 7.

Just a few hours later, Kenosha police in Wisconsin received the devastating news of a fire in a flat. Firefighters were able to put the fire out but they were too late to save the children.

Rylee and Connor died in the fire and little Alena was airlifted to hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. Devastated Jourdan said: “It just doesn’t seem real yet to me. And I can’t believe that this is my reality right now.”

The distraught mum continued: “I was so excited for Christmas shopping but now it’s just caskets. They brought all of this light that now I don’t have.”

Officers later said the children’s dad was treated for smoke inhalation. Jourdan added is now with other family members.

The mum continued: “You can sit here and say all you want to that I would’ve done this, this, and this, but when you’re in the situation, it’s completely different. But I will tell you that if I was in that situation, without a doubt, my kids would’ve been out or I would’ve been dead with them.”

Police have launched an investigation into the cause of the fire. Jourdan said she hopes a timeline of the incident can be established.
