A fire at a hunting camp in Washington County has claimed three lives. Andy Davis, a spokesman for Washington County Infirmary, said the victims included a 15-year-old boy, a 24-year-old man and his father. Their names are not yet released.

The bodies were taken to the state forensics lab in Mobile. Coroner
Leon Harris said the fire occurred about 2:00 a.m. Sunday. Volunteer firefighters from Wagarville battled the blaze, which destroyed the building.

Harris said there were some hunters who escaped the fire, but he didn't know how many were in the building.

The cause of the blaze remained under investigation. Saturday was the opening of deer season.
