A family of five died Friday night when their home caught on fire in Bryant, Ala.
The victims were identified as Carolyn Quarels, 63; Tony Alexander, 42; Kimberly Alexander, 34; Brianne Alexander, 8, and Emily Alexander, 6.
According to Jackson County Sheriff Chuck Phillips, the call about a house fire came in just before midnight.
The Bryant, Higdon and Flat Rock fire departments all responded to the scene.
Phillips said he believes the family was asleep at the time the fire started, but the cause of the fire and the reason the victims were not able to escape had not yet been determined.
