A late-night blaze in a mobile home near Deer River, Minn., killed two and sent three others to the hospital, authorities said Sunday.
Escaping with their lives from the fire early Saturday near Deer River were a woman and two teenage girls, all taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries, the Cass County Sheriff's Office said. A man and woman were found dead inside the home.
Authorities have not released the identities of any of the victims of the fire, which was reported to the Sheriff's Office at roughly 12:30 a.m.
Officials have yet to offer an initial indication of how the blaze began.
