Joseph A. O'Keefe has ruled out ar-
son as a possible cause of the fire at
R8'/2 Allen Sb., early Sunday, which
took the lives of two young girls.
O'Keefe said Monday night that
the ongoing investigation has
brought him to the point where he
and the Salem arson squad have
ruled out arson and faulty wiring as
the possible causes of the blaze
which took the lives of Michelle
Titus Lampron, 11, of 8 Cross St.
Court, and Karen Lavoie, 10, who
lived at the location 'of the fire.
This morning, Fire Chief James
F. Brennan said that thefiredetec-
tors and an electrical panel in the.
house,, were confiscated by 'the
state firemarshal and sent to-a
state laboratory for testing.. - ,
Initial reports made to
firefighters indicated that the:
alarm signals failed to go off.
In that regard, a Salem attorney ,
who has represented one of the
bereaved families said he will seek
a conference with the chief as the
first step toward a suit against the
system manufacturers, -if the
devices are found to have been
defective. • '

tion, and there was a window

arson investigators Sunday she was
asleep on a couch when she heard
"a crackling sound", saw flames ,
