PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 A Kensington community is in shock this morning after a five-year-old girl was killed in a row home fire.<\/p>\n
The fire broke out around 3:30 a.m. Sunday, ripping through a row home near D Street and East Ontario Street.<\/p>\n
Giselle, a next-door neighbor, said she awoke with her two daughters to the sound of screaming.<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard someone screaming, and I looked at my cameras, and I saw the smoke coming out, and I just pulled everyone out of the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
After rushing her daughters outside, Giselle saw her neighbors desperately trying to escape the burning building. <\/p>\n
She said two sisters lived in the house, one with her daughter and the other with her young son. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe girl, she threw her son, and then she jumped out of the window,\u201d Giselle recounted. <\/p>\n
She said fire crews arrived quickly and broke down the front door to get the other sister and her daughter out from the second-floor rooms at the back of the house.<\/p>\n
Officials said the five-year-old girl was pronounced dead at the scene. One of the adults is in critical condition.<\/p>\n
Giselle and her family said they\u2019re thankful to be safe, but will keep their neighbors in prayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 A Kensington community is in shock this morning after a five-year-old girl was killed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304621,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[422,8921,221,69,71,70,41694],"class_list":["post-304620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-fire","tag-kensington","tag-north-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-row-home"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
