PERRY COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — A father and his three daughters were killed early Sunday morning in a house fire in Perry County, according to the coroner’s office.
David Carr, 38, passed away in the flames alongside his 16-year-old daughters Makenzie and Hannah, and their six-year-old sister Paige.
The fire was reported around 3:30 a.m. in the 100 block of North Front Street in Newport.
Mifflintown Hose Company described it as a “major fire,” but details are limited at this time.
Pennsylvania State Police troopers have blocked off the home with police tape and are investigating the cause of the fire. Troopers on scene declined to speak with CBS 21.
While at the scene, a woman who said she is the sister of Carr shared her confusion and grief.
“I feel alone, like I have nobody now, like my mom and dad’s gone now, my brother, nobody knows what that feels like, because they never had all their whole family just wiped out,” said Jessica Kramer.
In a release, state police asked anyone with “pertinent” security footage to call the Newport station at 717-567-3110.
