PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Four people, including two children, were hurt in a fire in Northeast Philadelphia Monday morning.
Firefighters were called to the 6600 block of Horrocks Street around 5:30 a.m.
Crews rescued a 30-year-old man who was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. He is suffering from severe burns and smoke inhalation.
Officials say his 26-year-old wife, 6-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son were also taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation.
“I heard the woman was screaming out the back window, and they threw the 1-year-old out the back window,” recalled Alan Finberg of Northeast Philadelphia.
The American Red Cross assisted the three people who live in the lower level of the duplex. The family told Action News they are currently displaced because of water damage but have found somewhere else to stay.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
