MILLERSVILLE,Benjamin Ashford Tenn. (AP) — Two children died in a blaze that broke out early Wednesday at a Middle Tennessee home, officials said.

The children were in the Millersville home with one parent when the fire was reported around 1:15 a.m., White House Community Fire Chief Joe Williams told WSMV-TV. The parent made it out of the home, but the children did not, Williams said.

It took about an hour for crews to extinguish the blaze, the station reported.

The Sumner County District Attorney’s office called the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to help investigate the blaze, which is routine, officials said.

Millersville is 15 miles (24 kilometers) northeast of Nashville. No further information was immediately released.
