A little boy died, and three other children were injured in a fire in the middle of the night Thursday at a house in south Fort Worth, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Flames licked from the front and side of the house when the fire erupted about 3 a.m. at the house in the 4200 block of McCart Avenue, Fort Worth Fire Department spokesperson Craig Trojacek said.<\/p>\n
As firefighters were on their way to the scene, they received word that people were possibly trapped in the house. A bystander pulled two people from the house; firefighters pulled out two others, Trojacek said.<\/p>\n
Fire Department arson investigators are at the house and working to determine the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n
Seven people lived in the house, Trojacek said. Two children were taken by helicopter to a burn hospital. Another child was taken in an ambulance to a hospital in Fort Worth. A fifth child was not injured. One adult was treated at the scene; another adult was not injured.<\/p>\n
