Police investigating the deaths of three people in a deliberate house fire said they had an "encouraging response" from motorists stopped near the scene.
They questioned drivers from 04:00 to 06:00 on Sunday, one week on from the incident in Helensburgh.
Thomas Sharkey, 21, and his eight-year-old sister Bridget died on the day of the fire. Their father Thomas, 55, died six days later.
The children's mother, 46-year-old Angela Sharkey, is still in hospital.
She has been too ill to be told that the other members of her family are dead.
