TEMPLE BAR, Ariz. — The National Park Service has identified the two children who perished Monday in the trailer fire at Temple Bar Marina in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
Nine-year-old male Micah Gnagy and Rowan Gnagy, female, age 3, perished in a blaze that consumed much of the single-wide mobile home. Park service investigators say that the cause of the fire appears to be accidental, but the investigation is ongoing, said Andrew Muñoz, LMNRA spokesman.
No further details will be released until the investigation is complete.
The trailer was fully engulfed when NPS volunteer firefighters and park rangers arrived shortly before 11 a.m. Monday in the employee housing area at the Temple Bar Marina.
The park service volunteer firefighters involved in the initial response are employees of Forever Resorts, the authorized concessionaire of Temple Bar Marina.
The exact cause of death remains to be determined by the Mohave County medical examiner.
