Two children died Thursday afternoon after a fire tore through a home in an unincorporated area of Compton.
One child was pronounced dead at the two-story home in the 800 block of East Lennon Street, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said. Another child was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead by medical personnel.
"We don't know if any adults were home," Inspector Don Kunitomi told The Times.
He said the ages and gender of the children had not been determined.
Flames and smoke were visible when the first fire engine arrived about 4:30 p.m. The cause was under investigation.
