Inland house fires claim a deadly toll, mostly children
LAKELAND VILLAGE – (INT) – The coroner said Tuesday that two little girls were victims of a house fire that injured six other people.

Bodies of the children, aged 1 and 2, were recovered from the home on Blackwell Boulevard. Their names were not released.

The home near Lake Elsinore was fully involved in flames when Riverside County firefighters pulled up Monday afternoon.

It took more than an hour to contain the flames.

The survivors were taken to area hospitals.

CalFire did not indicate if the cause of the fire had been determined or its origin, but that an investigation was ongoing.

Residential fires across the Inland Empire this month have killed nine people. Five were children.
