A little girl is fighting for her life in a Seattle burn unit after a heartbreaking accident in east Spokane Tuesday. Investigators say it all started with something most of us have in our own homes. Just after 3:30 p.m., firefighters got a call of a young girl and a woman with burns near Cataldo and Lee. When they arrived they found neighbors working on the two in the front yard of their home. The 5-year-old girl and her mom were immediately rushed to the hospital. The girl had life threatening burns to the majority of her body, the mother with significant injuries from carrying her. Investigators believe a space heater caught the little girl's pajamas on fire and her mother was burned as she tried rescuing her.
