A house fire in the Town of Goshen Saturday night killed a father and his two sons, authorities said.
Not much is left at 876 Pulaski Highway. The two-family home is where state police said a serious fire started, killing 50-year-old Shane Munn and his two young sons, ages 12 and 17.
The news is devasting their landlord, John Porcaro, who visited the home on Sunday.
"I just can't believe it. I just spoke to him yesterday because he keeps the property good," Porcaro said. "He's a great dad. He had two autistic kids."

"I just can't believe it. I just spoke to him yesterday because he keeps the property good," Porcaro said. "He's a great dad. He had two autistic kids."
Both boys succumbed to their injuries at a Wallkill hospital. Goshen officials said they were both nonverbal. Munn was found dead inside the home.
State police said emergency crews arrived at the fire just after 8 p.m. and found the home completely engulfed in flames. One neighbor said he saw about 30 trucks that were filled with responders.
"They put it out really fast and, unfortunately, the people that live there aren't with us anymore," the neighbor said.
"I just feel bad, and I feel bad for my other tenant. She just lost her husband, and I just don't know where she's going to stay," Porcaro said.
The other tenant, who lives upstairs, said she and her two young kids stayed at a hotel Saturday night.
While state police said the investigation into the incident is still ongoing, Porcaro says he believes the fire may have started in a kitchen.
As crews board up the property, a make-shift memorial for the Munn family has started to form outside of their Pulaski Highway home.
