A woman and her four children were killed when a massive fire ripped through their home in northwestern Massachusetts early Saturday morning. Two family members, an adult and a child, escaped the blaze, which broke out in the single-family home at about 12:45 a.m. in the small town of Warwick, the state fire marshal's office said. At a news conference Saturday afternoon, town officials said the bodies of the mother and the four children were located inside the destroyed home, the station reported. Our community has suffered a great loss," Warwick Town Coordinator David Young said at the news conference, according to the Westford Patch local news website. Three of the children who were killed attended public schools in the small Franklin County community.
