"A house fire in Murrieta killed two young girls Saturday morning and left their parents hospitalized, days ahead of Christmas. A crowd fundraiser has raised tens of thousands of dollars to support them and their surviving child during their recovery. Murrieta Fire & Rescue responded to a 4:42 a.m. 911 call on Saturday in the 41000 block of Knight Drive."
"Three people were taken to a hospital, according to Fire & Rescue, and two unidentified people died at the scene, along with several household pets. Fire officials could not be reached to identify the victims but, in an email to The Times, a close friend of the family identified the victims as 11-year-old Abagail Keenan and her sister Emma Keenan, 12. Emma's twin sister, Ashley, survived alongside her parents, Stacey Hales and Adam Keenan, their friend Andrea Raikoglo told The Times."
