Only one of the family's eight children, a three-year-old girl, managed to escape the burning farmhouse in the community of Loysville in the eastern US state.

She rushed to alert her mother, who was milking cows in the family's barn late on Tuesday night.

The father had earlier left on his milk truck delivery route and had not returned home because he apparently stopped to take a nap.

Pennsylvania state trooper Tom Pinkerton said the woman was unable to get inside the building to rescue the children.

"While mum's milking cows, her three-year-old daughter comes running into the barn and the three-year-old tells the mother that there's smoke inside the house," he told reporters.
