Devastating new details. Now about a West Iceland house fire that killed two brothers. We are learning that the youngest was just 16 years old and their injured parents are now recovering in the hospital news. Twelve's Carmen Grant is at the scene right now with what we know, Carmen. The tame officials say some 50 firefighters responded to this house of fire but by the time they got here, it was too late. This was the scene of a fatal fire in West Islip that claimed the lives of two brothers. I feel for the family. It's a tragic thing. The fire broke out at 136 Udall road a little before 6 a.m. this morning, killed in the fire were 24 year old Matthew Kremer and his 16 year old brother Kyle Delai, both were trapped on the second floor. A neighbor says a resident who knew the 16 year old victim had tried to break down the front door. There was a large big demand that was banging on the front door screaming Kyle Kyle, I mean banging like trying to break it down and he couldn't. Officials say their parents, Joseph Dega and Tony Cremer managed to escape and told firefighters that their boys were still inside. Their parents suffered burns and smoke inhalation and were transported to the hospital. Officials say fire units arrived within minutes at the scene. But by that time, the house was fully engulfed in flames. It was a fast moving fire by all means from the initial phone call to the time we arrived, it was a quick turnaround to the point where we got there, both of us were on fire already. Now West Isaac public schools confirming to News 12 tonight that the older brother was a former student and that his younger brother, Kyle also attended the high school. Neighbors tell me that Kyle was a member of the football team. Meanwhile, grief counselors will be made available tomorrow evening from six pm to 730 at the high school library. As you can see over my shoulder, there continues to be a growing memorial outside this home. The cause of this fire remains under investigation. That's the latest here from West Islip Carmen Grant News 12 Long Island.
