BOXHOLM, Iowa (AP) — Authorities have identified the mother and three children killed a house fire in the central Iowa town of Boxholm.
Rick Lampe with the Boone County Sheriff’s Department says 27-year-old Amber Sorenson, 9-year-old Riley Sorenson, 6-year-old Autumn Sorenson and 4-year-old Brayden Sorenson all died in the fire.
The fire in Boone County created challenges for firefighters because of frigid conditions.
The fire was reported around 12:45 a.m. Sunday when the temperature was 6 degrees below zero in the town of about 200.
The victims’ bodies were recovered around 2:15 a.m.
A Go Fund Me page has been set up for the Sorenson family, raising over $30,000 in one day. A link to the page can be found below.
