Two sisters died trying to save their dad from a burning New Jersey home on Thanksgiving, according to local authorities.
The fire was first reported at the home on Mosswood Avenue in Orange around 5 p.m., the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said.
Two sisters, Frantzia and Pojanee Fleury, did not survive. The 49-year-old and 42-year-old sisters were “apparently trying to assist their disabled father out of the home,” a spokesperson from the prosecutor’s office said.
Their father and six others managed to escape the fire without injury.
Officials are still investigating the cause of the fire.
