At least one adult has also been hospitalized. |
The fire gutted Harris Family Day Care, local news portal GoErie.com said. It began some time before 1:12am Sunday, but the authorities came forward with the devastating news only later in the afternoon, saying the blaze claimed the lives of five children, also injuring a woman living there, reportedly the owner. | |
Two more teens, aged 12 and 17, escaped the fire by reportedly climbing on the burning building’s roof and then jumping off it. A neighbor is said to have been injured as well. | |
Firefighters were on the scene less than five minutes after the call, local Fire Department Chief Guy Santone said, but the building had already been engulfed by flames. | |
No names of the victims have yet been released, and detectives are working to determine whether they were staying at the day care, according to police. | |
