Fire Chief Brian Rooney said firefighters responded early Friday morning and pulled the four victims from their apartment, breaking a window to get in as smoke poured out from under a locked door. The four were identified as 22-year-old Tiana Black, 4-year-old twin girls Nyasija and Tyasija Williams, and 5-year-old Nyshon Williams.

The cause of the fire was under investigation. The fire chief said the fire started in the kitchen. A relative said Black worked at Goodwill Industries while attending school.
