A heartbreaking Thanksgiving tragedy struck a New Jersey family when a fast-moving house fire claimed the lives of two devoted sisters who tried to help their father to safety. The incident occurred on Mosswood Avenue in Orange, where nine people were inside the home. Seven made it out unharmed, including the sisters’ elderly father, who lives with health challenges.

The victims, identified as Frantzia Fleury, 49, and Pojanee “PJ” Fleury, 42, were known for their kindness, creativity, and dedication to their loved ones. Family members described them as compassionate women with strong commitments to both family and community. Frantzia worked in the medical field, while PJ was an author and inventor.

Neighbors shared that the fire spread too quickly for anyone to intervene, leaving the community shaken. Loved ones have posted heartfelt tributes online, remembering the sisters’ warmth and the lasting impact they made on those around them.

Local authorities are still working to determine the cause of the fire. Support organizations, including the Red Cross, are assisting surviving family members as they navigate this difficult time. Our thoughts remain with the family and all those affected.
