Two children perished in a Rutherford County house fire despite efforts of Bostic firefighters.
The children, two and three, were found in a back bedroom, and brought out by crews, WSPA reported.
The Rutherford County Fire Marshal said fire started in the living room.
Some neighbors said what they saw Friday morning sticks with them.
“They come running out with a baby in their hands, throw it on the ground and start doing CPR and chest compressions, then they come out with another baby, throw them on the ground with chest compressions, CPR, and then later on I ask them how the babies doing, and they say the babies died,” Ronald Malton, a neighbor, told reporters.
The children's grandfather found firefighters when he returned to the house after taking their mother to work.
