Multiple fire crews battled the flames for hours and had to pump in water due to the lack of hydrants in the immediate area, WHTM-TV reported.

The state police fire marshal’s office was investigating the cause of the fire, Snyder said.

The identities of the victims weren’t immediately released by the Dauphin County coroner’s office.
