FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — Fire swept through a Fort Wayne home on Thursday, killing four children, authorities said.
Adam O’Connor, a deputy fire chief in the northeastern Indiana city, said firefighters responded to the blaze in the city’s northeast side just before 8:30 a.m. and found the mobile home engulfed in flames.
He toldThe (Fort Wayne) Journal Gazettethat at least four adults who lived in the home were outside it when firefighters arrived, and that the four children were pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities didn’t release the names or ages of the children or adults, or suggest a possible cause of the fire. They also didn’t say whether any of the adult survivors were injured.
