(Dyersburg) A tragedy in Dyersburg after twin sisters were killed in a house fire.

It happened around one o’clock Wednesday morning.

Crews made their way around the house, and found the father trying to put the fire out through the window with a water hose.

Crews pulled him out and got the four-year-old sisters and their five-year-old brother.
