Two 3-year-old twin boys died in a house fire in Weippe, Idaho early Friday morning. According to Clearwater County Sheriff Chris Goetz, the Clearwater County Sheriff's Office responded to a fully engulfed structure fire on West 8th Avenue in Weippe shortly after 1 a.m. When firefighters arrived on scene, they were told the twins were unaccounted for, according to Goetz. Due to the intensity of the flames, crews were unable to rescue the boys, and they were found dead inside the house after the fire was put out, Goetz said. No other injuries were reported in the house fire, according to Goetz, who also said the house was a total loss. The Idaho State Marshal is investigating the fire.
