A deadly fire in East Bakersfield took the life of a young child around four or five years old, and injured two others, according to Kern County Fire Department.
The child was part of a family of five which appeared to be living in a storage unit on Sterling Road. When flames broke out around 12:45 a.m., that family got trapped inside, according to fire crews.
When firefighters arrived, they were able to quickly put out the flames. The young child died at the scene.
A woman and a second child were taken to the hospital, but we are waiting for an update on their injuries. The other two family members were unharmed.
