Two sisters were killed in a massive fire that tore through a Millville neighborhood late Wednesday night, officials said.
The girls were initially unaccounted for, but authorities later confirmed their deaths as they continue searching for one of them within the smoldering rubble.
The blaze broke out along 4th Street by Railroad Avenue at around 11 p.m. and spread quickly with the presence of natural gas lines.
