Fire officials said three people died in an early morning New Castle house fire Wednesday.
Crews were called to the home about 5:30 a.m. and found two victims shortly after they began searching the structure, officials told WKBN.com.
A woman and her 17-year-old daughter died, along with a 18-year-old friend.
The woman's son was away at a sleepover.
New Castle Fire Chief Michael Kobbe said the fire likely started in the kitchen.
