VIDEO - For the first time, we’re seeing video of the daring and emotional rescue of two children from a house fire in Mount Hope. The fire was so intense the children suffered critical burns and their older brother perished.
Video captured by a GoPro on one firefighter’s helmet shows just what fire crews were up against that early Monday morning last November. It was just after midnight when flames roared to life inside the home on J Street.
Engine 12 rolled into the Mount Hope neighborhood within minutes of the 911 call. When firefighters got to the house, they say it appeared that flames were shooting out of every window.
Immediately, a woman can be heard yelling to Firefighter Dallas Higgins, “There's three kids still in the house!"
