ATHENS, Ga. - Two adults and one child are dead after an early morning house fire in Athens, Georgia Wednesday.
Officials say they received a 911 call from a neighbor on the 700 block of Spring Valley Road shortly before 3:30 a.m.
When they got to the scene, crews found the home fully up in flames and started to work battling the blaze.
As they were working to get the fire under control, a neighbor told them that a 12-year-old boy had escaped and that there were others still in the home.
When crews got to the fire extinguished enough to enter the home, they found the bodies of three victims.
