PHILADELPHIA – A devastating early morning house fire in Kensington has left a five-year-old girl dead and three adults in critical condition.<\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
Firefighters responded to the blaze on the 3300 block of D Street at approximately 3:30 a.m. Sunday as several people were said to be trapped inside the home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two adults managed to escape through the second-story front windows thanks to the help of a quick-acting neighbor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
According to the Deputy Fire Marshal, the three adults are currently receiving treatment in critical condition at Einstein Medical Center and Temple University Hospital.<\/p>\n
The fire, which is believed to have started on the second floor, was placed under control within 30 minutes of the fire department’s arrival.<\/p>\n
What they’re saying:<\/p>\n
A mother who lives next door told FOX 29’s Ellen Kolodziej that the quick action of another neighbor helped save lives.<\/p>\n
“It was very scary. It was very scary,” Gisella Fleita said. “When we came out, they were jumping out of their house.”<\/p>\n
The flames started on the second floor of this house, but spread so quickly that by the time firefighters arrived, a neighbor was already helping two adults jump out the windows.<\/p>\n
“I just wanted to get my kids out this morning,” Fleitus said. “We heard the screaming and we just ran out.”<\/p>\n
What we don’t know:<\/p>\n
The cause of the fire is still unknown and remains under active investigation by the Fire Marshal\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
Additional information about the victims has yet to be released.<\/p>\n
