The first of seven victims of the worst fire in Huntington in 50 years, have been identified.
Authorities indicate there are more victims in the apartment building that burned over the weekend.
Police say three siblings, originally from the Lincoln County Harts community have died. They are 19-year-old Ben Lucas, 17-year-old Angel Lucas and 14-year-old Quentin Lucas.
Ben Lucas may have been a student at Marshall University and his brother and sister were in Huntington to visit him.
Large heavy equipment is being moved to the site today to help with the body search.
At least 24 people were rescued and three remain hospitalized today, one in critical condition.
Many of the residents are believed to have been Marshall University students and some of them are moving into a university residence hall today.
