Responding fire crews were met by flames and thick smoke from the abandoned house, fire Battalion Chief Lawrence French said.

French said a neighbor told police that he heard people screaming and pounding against a window for help.

Firefighters pulled six people from the house in an effort to save them, French said.

Four victims were declared dead at the scene by emergency medical personnel. Two others were transported to Community Regional Medical Center, where one person died.
