At around 6 a.m. local time on Saturday, law enforcement received a 911 call that a house near the community of Mathias was ablaze. One woman survived the fire, officials said and was transported to a local medical facility.
The victims were transported to the coroners for identification, officials said. The cause of the fire is not yet known, officials said, but investigators at the scene said the damage to the structure was severe.
