Minnesota authorities say a house fire has killed two adults in Hibbing and seriously injured two children.

The Hibbing Fire Department says the fire was reported at 1:37 a.m. Tuesday and destroyed the home before crews put out the blaze.

Fire officials say a third juvenile was outside the home when crews arrived and was also hospitalized. It’s unknown how everyone is related.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
