The Illiopolis Fire Protection District is calling an Elizabeth Street home a total loss after an early morning fire. Two adults and four children were inside at the time. The fire broke out early Saturday morning just after 5 A.M. The fire chief says the parents woke up to the smell of smoke. Two children were in the bedroom with them. Once outside, the chief says the parents busted front windows and pulled the remaining kids from their bedrooms. The mother remains in the hospital for smoke inhalation and cuts to her arms. One child, treated for burns from the elbows down, is also still in the hospital. Several kids were treated for smoke inhalation.
