UPPER DARBY, Pa. - A vigil was held Wednesday night in Upper Darby outside the charred remains of a home where 5-year-old twin sisters died in a fire that badly injured their mother.
Firefighters were called to the 300 block of Margate Road around 4 a.m. Tuesday for reports of a fire that officials say quickly struck two alarms.
Reginald Spotwood, a neighbor, told FOX 29 that he heard the twin sisters pleading for help and entered the burning house to try to rescue them but could not.
Family members later identified the girls as 5-year-old twin sister Eva and Ave Brown-Williams. Their mother, Robyn Brown, jumped from a second-story window and sustained serious injuries.
