Jones County Sheriff’s Office releases name of girl killed in Onslow house fire Friday

The Jones County Sheriff's Office has released the name of a child killed in a house fire in Onslow Friday.

Geniyah Morgan, 10, was found by firefighters in an upstairs bedroom at 205 Summit Street. Fire crews had made multiple attempts to reach her but were unsuccessful due to the intensity of the fire and heat on both floors of the residence, according to a news release. Her body was taken to the Iowa State Medical Examiner's Office in Ankeny, pending an autopsy.

Geniyah was a fifth-grade student in the Midland School District. The district has crisis staff available, the release stated.

Her mother and four children, ages 1 to 8, were able to escape through a bedroom window on the main floor of the home. All were taken to the Jones Regional Medical Center in Anamosa with smoke and heat-related injuries.

A one-year-old girl was then taken by ambulance to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, and released Friday night.

A preliminary investigation by the State Fire Marshal's Office and Jones County Sheriff's Office determined the fire to be accidental, starting in the kitchen.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the fire.

Geniyah’s death was the seventh Iowa house fire fatality over three days this past week.
