VIDEO - Two young girls were killed and their mother was critically injured when flames tore through a home in Wilmington, Delaware Tuesday afternoon.
The blaze erupted around 4:10 p.m. inside a home on the 400 block of North Monroe Street. Witnesses say out of nowhere the home just exploded. "I tried to get in there and all I kept thinking about was the kids," neighbor Aaron McManus said.
McManus only made it to the kitchen before intense smoke pushed him out.
"I ran around the back and opened the door, and crawled in there and screamed 'anybody in here,' but it was so much smoke coming," McManus said.
Two children, a 3-month-old girl and a 3-year-old girl, were killed in the fire. ... The inferno at times was so intense the Action Cam captured images of a firefighter going headfirst out of a second story window. He wasn't injured and continued fighting the flames.
