The fire in a 4-plex building was reported shortly after 9 pm Wednesday and immediately several neighbors grabbed nearby garden hoses and attacked the smoldering fire from the windows. When the FD arrived about 3 minutes later, the fire was mostly out. When they went inside for a search, they found three children dead and a fourth child that was transported died later at the hospital.
Two adult women in the unit escaped with some minor burns and smoke inhalation.
Investigators are still on the scene and nothing more is known about the incident yet.
