LYNCHBURG, Tenn. (AP) – A fire official says a father and two of his children have died in a house fire in Tennessee.

Media reports say Metro Moore County Fire & Rescue Chief Mark Neal said 33-year-old Nathan Robinson was killed in the fire in a rented rural home in Middle Tennessee on Saturday morning.

Robinson’s daughters, 13-year-old Kailyn and 8-year-old Julianna, also died in the fire.

The mother, 36-year-old Elizabeth, and a son, 11-year-old Mason, were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Their conditions were not immediately known.

Neal says the house, located near Lynchburg, was a total loss.

The cause is under investigation.
