Two young brothers died as the result of injuries suffered in a Pioneer Day house fire.

Killed were:Andrew Cleamons, 4, Richfield.

Christopher Turner, 2, Richfield.

Richfield Police Lt. John Evans said Cleamons died at Sevier Valley Hospital after flames destroyed the bedroom he shared with his brother, Christopher Turner.

Turner, who was flown to Salt Lake City's University of Utah Health Sciences Center's burn unit, died late Monday, hospital spokeswoman Dixie Bergeson said.

Evans said the fire, which destroyed the bedroom and filled the rest of the home with smoke, is believed to have started shortly before 10:30 a.m. Monday.

"It started in the kids' bedroom, on the bed," he said. "We haven't concluded the investigation, but we know where it started."
