8 children among 12 dead in large Philadelphia house fire, officials say | 4 smoke alarms in the building, which was public housing, do not appear to have been working
PHILADELPHIA -- A large fire tore through a two-unit house early Wednesday in Philadelphia, killing 12 people, including eight children, and sending two people to hospitals, fire officials said. They warned the numbers could grow as firefighters inspected the rowhome, where officials said 26 people had been staying.
City and fire officials did not release the names or ages of those killed in the blaze, which started before 6:30 a.m. Crews responded around 6:40 a.m. and saw flames shooting from the second-floor front windows of the home, in an area believed to be a kitchen, Murphy said. The odd configuration of the house, which had been split into two apartments, made it difficult to navigate, he said, but crews were able to bring it under control in less than an hour.
