Two killed in Kiln house fire identified

Hancock County Coroner Jeff Hair has identified the two people who died in a Memorial Day Weekend tragedy.

At 10: 25 p.m. Saturday, 58-year-old Mark Failor and 52-year-old Candace Failor, both from Magee, died in a house fire in the Kiln as they were visiting the Coast for the weekend.

Neighbors say they heard an explosion before the house erupted into flames, destroyed the home and badly damaged two others.

First responders closed off a section of Highway 603 near Jourdan River Shores as the blaze was contained.

The flame was mostly extinguished before midnight, but little remained of the home.
