Five children die in house fire - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Five young children died early this morning in a Larimer house fire, as some siblings crawled through the windows to escape, a relative said.
As many as 12 children could have been home when the fire broke out after 1 a.m. in the 6400 block of Winslow Street, Pittsburgh Deputy Fire Chief Colleen Walz said.
"It's been reported that no parents were home," Walz said. Officials were searching for a baby sitter who was supposed to be watching them.
Flames were shooting from all three floors of the building when firefighters arrived, officials said. The children's bodies were found on the second floor.
