Roanoke County Fire and Rescue confirmed Saturday afternoon that two children died in an early morning house fire that resulted in the hospitalization of two other children and four adults.
A statement from the department said that crews recovered the bodies of two children — one 5 years old and the other 10 years old — after a house fire in the 7600 block of Mt. Chestnut Road.
Spokeswoman Jennifer Conley Sexton declined to identify the children in an email sent with the news release. She wrote that additional information may not be available until Monday.
“I know there have been reports on social media indicating names of the victims, however, we are not able to release positive identification until we have it,” she wrote.
