Five people, including a father and his two young sons, were pronounced dead Sunday morning in the wake of a fire that destroyed a home in North Carolina, authorities said.
The Father’s Day fire broke out at a residence in Broadway, with a population of 1,316, about 40 miles southwest of Raleigh.
Harnett County Sheriff Major Aaron Meredith said the dead included Daniel Garner, 39, and his boys, whose names were withheld because they were not adults.
The three were staying at the house with friends who lived there, Meredith told NBC WRAL from Raleigh.
The friends, a married couple, were identified as Michael Breymeyer, 74, and Tammy Breymeyer, 58, the major said.
An investigation is underway into the cause of the Camp Ground Lane fire.
