The Alabama State Fire Marshal says that two children died
and several adults were injured in a house fire Thursday morning in Cleburne
County.
A Passersby reported the fire around 7 a.m. Thursday. The
fire happened on Highway 78 in the Fruithurst community.
The Fruithurst Volunteer Fire Department was one of the
first to respond and Assistant Chief Chad Roberts says that when crews arrived,
they found several people trapped in the home.
Roberts says crews were unable to reach the people trapped inside so
they continued efforts to put out the fire. Six fire departments, the Cleburne
County Sheriff's Office and the Alabama State Fire Marshal remained at the
scene until 3 p.m. Thursday afternoon. The injured were taken to a hospital in
Bremen, Ga. Alabama State Fire Marshal Ed Paulk says the children's deaths
brings the 2014 fire fatalities to 18.
