Fire Chief Dan White said the children were upstairs when the fire broke out and their parents were asleep downstairs.
The chief said the parents were awakened by a smoke alarm but could not get upstairs because of smoke and flames.
The children ranged in age from 7 to 13. Their parents escaped from the burning house.
