Crews responded to the blaze at 7:17 a.m., then spent the next hour and a half trying to put it out, WLBZ 2 reported. By the time it was extinguished the fire had gutted a home that included two apartments.


Firefighters responding to the scene found a total of five bodies, the Associated Press reported Saturday. One other person was in critical condition after jumping from a second story window.


Initial reports indicated some people were still missing, though by early Saturday evening it was unclear how many, if any, were still unaccounted for.


It was not immediately clear if the victims were students.
