Fire officials say one child got out of the home safely and ran to her grandmother’s house for help while firefighters had to pull 54-year-old Jeffrey Brown, 59-year-old Nancy Brown and their other two children out of the home.
A family friend told LEX 18 on Monday that Jeffrey Brown was the kind of person who would give anyone the shirt off his back.
There is no word yet on what started the fire, but officials say there weren’t any working smoke detectors in the home.
Neither agency is commenting on the manner of deaths or if the deaths were suspicious.
