Fire fighters battle a 4-alarm blaze at the Barclay Friends Nursing Home in West Chester, Thursday, November 16, 2017.
The missing residents included a married couple, an 89 year-old wife and her 92 year-old husband, and two women aged 85 and 93. Their names have not been released.
Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the extensive and deadly fire in Chester County, PA. Investigators are expected to continue working through the Thanksgiving Holiday in order to determine a cause.
