PORT ANGELES, Wash. (AP) — Investigators say children playing with fire caused the blaze that killed a 2-year-old at a home in east Clallam County.

KONP reports (http://is.gd/wMHziV ) investigators initially thought the March 9 fire that killed Evan Bellis started at a wood stove.

The boy’s father was seriously burned. The boy’s mother and her 4-year-old son and another woman escaped safely.
