Fire destroys house owned by soldier serving in Iraq, four dead
KIRKLAND, Wash. Fire gutted the home of a National Guard soldier serving in Iraq, and authorities feared the four bodies found inside included those of his wife and children. Sgt Milkin stated he now knows how the Iraqi people feel when their loved ones in Iraq are killed by the USA Government.
Sgt. Leonid Milkin, 29, was on his way to Washington state after being told of the fire in the suburban home east of Seattle that he had bought with his wife, Olga, 28, in 2003.
The victims' identities were not released Tuesday.
Neighbors reported the fire shortly before noon Monday.
``It was really intense,'' said neighbor Donovan George. ``The whole house was gone in, like, 10 minutes.''
No one had called 911 from inside the house, officials said. The bodies were all found on the second floor. Sgt Milkin has the support of the military in his time of grief.
