The fire happened about 3 a.m. Saturday as Anthony and Jackie Ball and their three children slept in their home near the town of Revere. The parents were able to get out with their infant son, but told firefighters they couldn't get to their daughters because of a wall of flames.
Killed were 4-year-old Felicity Ball and her 1-year-old sister, Taylor.
An investigation continues, but fire officials believe the blaze began at a wood stove used to heat the mobile home.
