A little boy was killed and three
other family members were injured on Sunday, November 24 in an apartment fire
in Southeast Dallas. Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman, Jason Evans, says the first
units to arrive at the scene encountered flames coming from the second floor. A
woman and two of her children were able to escape with injuries but the five-year
old boy was trapped and pronounced dead at the scene. “All of a sudden, we
heard a big boom,” said neighbor Troy Randle. A video shows two apartment
residents trying in vain to battle the fire with extinguishers. “Residents
broke down in tears as the fire grew out of control. They said the kids were
trapped inside the bathroom and the fire people had to bust down the door to
get them out.” says LaDettrick Tyson. No one else was hurt and the cause of
fire is under investigation.
This is
really sad to hear. The whole family and others affected by this incident are
in my prayers. I hope that this serves as a message for all families to test
their smoke alarms and plan a way to get out.
Aww, this is such a terrible thing that happened to this family. And the poor neighbors who were trying so hard to help. Very sad. I will keep them in my prayers too.
ReplyDeleteIt is always sad to hear these type of stories. Especially when the the child is the one that dies, it is just very sad.
