I couldn\u2019t believe it,&#8221; said Paris Kinley, whose cousin died in the fire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kinley says Alexus Craig was family, but she was also her best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Craig, her 3-week-old daughter, Nala, and a friend who just happened to be staying with them that night, all died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Today is the first day I didn\u2019t cry, and it is still morning,&#8221; Kinley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Craig leaves behind three other children, all under seven years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fire happened at&nbsp;Lakeland&nbsp;Terrace Apartments, just off Kathleen Road, on December 30. When firefighters arrived, the smoke was floor to ceiling. It was so thick they had to use thermal imaging cameras to find the people inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;None of them were breathing,&#8221; said Battalion Chief James Thompson of the Lakeland Fire Department. &#8220;CRP was started as soon as they came out to the stairwell.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fire is mostly in the kitchen area of the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later, they were all pronounced dead at the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firefighters say the blaze started in the kitchen. However, the state fire marshal has not yet determined a cause.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div id=\"ep-gutenberg-content-52d6a896c98dc18fd295364a8fba3979\" class=\"ep-gutenberg-content aligncenter ep-percentage-width   ep-content-protection-disabled\" data-embed-type=\"PDF\" data-embed-url=\"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Incident_Report-123021.pdf\">\n            <div class=\"embedpress-inner-iframe emebedpress-unit-percent ep-doc-52d6a896c98dc18fd295364a8fba3979\" style=\"max-width:600%\" id=\"embedpress-pdf-1641535523465\">\n                <div >\n                    <div class=\"ep-embed-content-wraper\"><div class=\"position-right-wraper gutenberg-pdf-wraper\"><iframe title=\"Incident_Report 123021\" class=\"embedpress-embed-document-pdf embedpress-pdf-1641535523465\" style=\"width:600%;height:600px; max-width:100%; display: inline-block\" src=\"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/plugins\/embedpress\/assets\/pdf\/web\/viewer.html?&#038;file=https%3A%2F%2Flakelandgazette.info%2Fnews%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F01%2FIncident_Report-123021.pdf#key=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\" frameborder=\"0\" oncontextmenu=\"return false;\"><\/iframe> <\/div><\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three people, including an infant, died in&nbsp;a fire at a Lakeland apartment complex the day before New Year\u2019s Eve. &#8220;I was just devastated.
