"Investigators are concerned about their well-being, as a fire occurred on the Arrow Center premise, and the girls are currently missing," the Office of the State Fire Marshal said in a statement Sunday night. "Their welfare is of our most significant concern."

As of 10 p.m. Sunday, officials said they were still working to get photos of the two girls, who had disappeared at 1 a.m. on Saturday, May 2.

Madera has blond hair with green highlights and blue eyes, officials said. She is described as 5 feet, 2 inches tall and 160 pounds. When last seen, she was wearing an army fatigue t-shirt with green shorts and multicolored sneakers, officials said.

One of the girls had been found, Arrow's Chief Relations Officer Debi Tingler said before 10:30 p.m. Due to privacy reasons because the girls were minors, she said she could not release information other than that one of the teens was safely located.
