The house belonged to James and Larita Burke, according to Good News Network. The couple are foster parents who have fostered 500 children over time. At the time of the fire, 11 children and one grandchild were inside the residence. [1]

Foster care is a system where a minor is placed in a group home or private home with a state-certified caregiver or approved family member, according to Wikipedia. These placements are typically arranged through a government or social service agency to support the care of children. [3]
