ALBANY, Ga. (AP) - Authorities say two children have been found dead after a house fire in southwest Georgia.

District Attorney Greg Edwards tells WALB-TV (http://bit.ly/2aRg06r) that one boy and one girl are dead after the early Wednesday morning blaze in Albany.

The station reports that a woman was taken to a hospital in grave condition, and a person who survived the fire is being interviewed.
