Talk about it

SIOUX FALLS (AP) — Funeral services are scheduled next week for three children killed in a weekend house fire in Sioux Falls.

The fire early Saturday killed 16-year-old Michael Hensley, 12-year-old Savannah Coon and 6-year-old Alivia Coon. The parents, Rhiannon and David White, escaped by leaping to the ground from a second-floor window.

Cause of the fire has not been determined. Sioux Falls Fire Marshal Dean Lanier tells the media that damage to the home was so extensive it hasn't been safe to send in investigators.

Funeral services for the three victims are set for 10 a.m. Monday at Celebrate Community Church in Sioux Falls.
