Another child was in critical con dition with burns, officials said. “At this time, the cause is still un der investigation,” Dallas Fire De partment investigator Raymond Lee said. Lee said a gasoline can was found in the house. “All we know at this point is that it was bought to mow the yard,” he said. Beverly Handy, a field agent with the Dallas County Medical Examin er’s office, identified the victims as: Jasmine Jordan, 1, Ericka Jordan, 9, Jamal Jordan, 6, Bernard Jordan, 16, Demetra Jordan, 18. Causes of the deaths had not been determined, Handy said. Parkland Memorial Hospital spokesman Tom Geddie said Ke- trick Jordan, 10, was in critical con dition with burns over about half of his body. A blood drive had been started for him at the hospital, offi cials said. Officials said the children all lived with their grandmother, 52-year-old Molly Jordan, who was working at the Dallas Veterans Administration Medical Center when the fire began. She was called to the scene by fire officials and later was hospitalized with shock. The children were found gath ered in one bedroom, suggesting they were aware of the fire, officials said. Fire officials found the oldest boy, Bernard, huddled over two of the younger children — apparently trying to protect them — on the floor between two twin beds. “Just guessing, I’d say it took at least five minutes longer getting in (because of the bars),” Investigator Doug Preston said. “It could have been longer. A few minutes can be the difference between life and death.” The fire department received the call at 4:09 a.m. and arrived with two vehicles, including a bar-cutting saw, at 4:12 a.m., Preston said. Fire investigator Don Howard said firefighters were also hampered by a love seat pushed against the house door. It was not the first time burglar bars have slowed fire rescue or es cape efforts in the city. Shortly after four women and three children died in January 1986 in a house protected by barred win dows and doors, the Dallas City Council changed the building code requiring the bars be able to open on hinges from the inside. The law wasn’t retroactive. In August 1987, two separate fires in which bars were on the windows claimed the lives of three people. “The newer Dallas code requires that the bars be able to open from the inside,” Preston said. “These were the older ones. They can’t be pulled off. They’re usually bolted through the walls.” What’s Up sc Thursday HEE SOCIETY OF FLIGHT TEST ENGINEERS/AMERICAN INSTITUTE OFiffi; , e , NAUTICS AND ASTRONAUTICS: John Hicks, cheif engineer for the X-25,®' 51 speak about flight testing at 7 p.m. in 701 Rudder.
