Witnesses told detectives there was a birthday party for one of the girls on the second floor of the residence. The girls were playing with fire near a couch in the hallway.
'First responders were here within two or three minutes, along with our mayor, who was out here all night. Despite the efforts of our first responders we still lost two babies.'
Lynwood Duncan, a tenant in the house, told 1010 WINS radio that he has complained to the landlord that there were code violations in the building, including furniture blocking the hallway.
County prosecutors said the two young victims were found 'severely burned' inside the home.
