Four young sisters have died after their North Carolina home caught fire over the weekend.
Kendall, Kalani, Josie, and Sophia Melvin died after the blaze ripped through their home in Chadbourn in the early hours of Saturday morning.
According to Columbus County Fire Marshal Shannon Blackman the girls were aged between two and seven and there were no parents inside the address at the time.
Two girls, both aged 12, managed to escape the inferno. Officials said one of them is a sister of the children who perished.
The girls who escaped called 911 and firefighters arrived on the scene shortly after but the house was already engulfed in flames.
