Five children died Thursday morning in a mobile home fire in the Butte community near Palmer. The fire also left two adults homeless. Alaska State Troopers said the remains of the children — all girls, between the ages of 3 and 12 — were recovered by 10:30 a.m. The state fire marshal's office is investigating the cause of the fire while the state medical examiner is conducting autopsies on the victims. The fire was called in just before 7 a.m. but the trailer was engulfed in flames when the first of dozens of part-time responders from Butte Fire Department and Palmer Fire and Rescue arrived, according to Butte Fire Chief Eric Van Dusen.
