Young brothers were the fatalities

An early afternoon fire near Westminster took the lives of two 4, and 5-year-old brothers.  Three other family members were sent to the hospital.  Coroner Karl Addis says the names of the deceased will be released today.  Autopsies are to be scheduled to assist the investigation.  Addis says the boys’ mother and two, 1-year-old twins were being evaluated at the hospital.  As part of the fire investigation on Misty Hollow Lane near the Coffee Road, local authorities requested the help of the SLED, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and the state Fire Marshal’s Office.  That’s standard procedure, says Scott Krein of Oconee Emergency Services, whenever a fire death occurs.
