N.C. blaze kills seven students at beach house

Seven people were killed in a house fire in North Carolina this past weekend. Six people survived and one jumped from a window into a waterway to escape the fire. 12 of the 13 kids attended University of South Carolina, and one attended Clemson. The house belonged to the parents of one of the girls who was in the house. The source of the fire is yet to be determined, and the names of those who passed away in the fire are yet to be released.

I think this is really scary, and i wonder what the situation was that caused six to escape and seven to die. the article did not specifiy what time the fire occured at, so i dont know if the fact that they were sleeping is the cause of that.
