An 11-year-old girl rescued from a Tacoma house fire early Sunday has died from her injuries, fire officials announced.
The girl was taken to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries and died Monday morning.
The fire started early Sunday morning at a Tacoma home on East Clarkston Street near South Lane. The adults and another child inside made it out safely, but an 11-year-old girl was trapped inside.
The entire situation hit everyone hard, including the firefighters who responded.
According to the assistant fire chief, it is “never easy. After all, what is left of the house shows just how devastating this fire was.”
When they arrived, they had to immediately search the house for missing persons.
