EARLEVILLE, Md. (AP) –Two adults and two children have died after they were trapped inside their burning mobile home in CecilCounty.

State fire officials say the blaze was reported about 2 a.m. Saturday in Earleville. The victims’ identities were not released.

Fire officials say the adults were in their 20s, one child was believed to be 8 years old, and the other was 4 months old.

One man escaped from the fire with minor burns.

About 40 firefighters were called in from across the area and from Middletown, Del. The home was destroyed, along with two outbuildings. An unoccupied home next door also was affected.

Fire investigators are trying to determine what caused the fire.

I bet if either Jen or Kenneth went to the property, somewhere on it they will find a white feather – from the wings of angels. They want no more; God will see they have everything they need and use them in very special ways. My prayers and condolences to the extended families.
