An early morning fire left two children dead in Forsyth County on Saturday. A home on the 2500 block of Apple Valley Court went up in flames around 3 a.m. Neighbors said they woke up to a neighborhood full of police cars and fire trucks.
The mother of the children was able to get safely; however, the two children did not.
The Division Chief Fire Marshal with the Forsyth County Fire Department, Jason Stover, told CBS46, "They tried to gain access in an attempt to conduct a rescue, but the fire was too intense.They began a search and rescue and suppression operation. During their search, firefighters located two juvenile fatalities, a nine-year-old girl and a twelve-year-old boy.”
Police are not releasing the names of the victims because they are juveniles.
