Three people were killed in a fire at an adult foster care home in Redford Township early Saturday morning.

The fire broke out at a home on Woodbine Avenue near Telegraph and 5 Mile roads. Two people were able to escape the home safely, but three others died inside.

A neighbor, Patrick Tansey, lives next door to the home that caught fire. He and his family were evacuated from their house.

“This morning around 6 a.m., we had a Redford Township knock on our door. Just told me and my family hey, we need you out of the house. At that point, we ran across the street with my children,” Tansey said.

While his family stood outside, Tansey’s son recorded video of the fire. “When we came out, the whole entire house was up in flames honestly, going higher than my roof,” Tansey said.

The Southfield and Livonia fire departments also responded to the scene to help Redford Township firefighters battle the blaze.
