Dijon Plummer II, 37-year old Tracey Plummer and the girl, Delia, died in the DeKalb County fire Wednesday night.
Their bodies were found in a bedroom on the second floor of the house after the flames were knocked down, Fire Capt. Eric Jackson said.
The children’s father, Dijon Plummer, had taken another son to a party when the fire broke out, relatives said.
