The State Fire Marshal’s Office is assisting with an investigation into a house fire that displaced a family of 11 the afternoon of Friday, Feb. 9. Pat and Jodi Haag and nine of their children, ages 6 to 21, are staying at a hotel in Pipestone until they can move back into their home near Trosky. Jodi said Monday morning that she and Pat were going to be meeting with their insurance providers later in the day and that a cleaning crew would be visiting the home to determine what needs to be done before the family can move back in. Jodi said the fire that forced them from their home was the third mysterious fire in the house in a span of 24 hours. They caught the first two — one in a drawer in a dining area and one in a mud room — and extinguished them before they spread. Jodi said no one was near the areas when the fires started and there were no electrical outlets nearby. She said they have no idea what caused the fires.
