12 Die, Including 8 Children, in Philadelphia House Fire
--------------------------------------------------------

In Philadelphia, at least 12 people died Wednesday, including eight
children, in the city's deadliest fire in over a century. The dead
included two sisters and several of their children. The blaze occurred
in a row house owned by the Philadelphia Housing Authority. As many as
26 people were inside the building when the fire began. Authorities say
none of the building's four smoke detectors went off when it started.
