A woman is facing charges related to the death of four children in a house fire in Chadbourn early this month.
Reagan Powers, 28, has been charged with four felony counts each of involuntary manslaughter and child abuse, according to court documents.
Warrants say Powers committed “grossly negligent omission” by leaving both her residence and the children in the care of an 11 year old. “The defendant’s act and omission resulted in serious bodily injury, death, to the child,” the warrants said.
While the 11 year old and another child were able to escape the fire unharmed, four other children perished.

The ages of the children killed were 2, 4, 6 and 7, according to a post on the N.C. SBI Facebook page.
Investigators have not been able to determine the exact cause of the fire, but say there is no evidence that it was intentionally started.
Chadbourn is located about one hour west of Wilmington.
