3 Children Die in Chicago (IL) Fire

From the Chicago Tribune:
Three children were killed early this morning in a house fire in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side that was caused by one of them playing with a lighter, fire officials said.

Two boys were rescued and taken to Comer Children's Hospital, but were pronounced dead there. The body of a girl was found on the first floor of the house, according to the Fire Department.

According to the report, the children's father tried to put out the fire himself but it spread too quickly. Other tenants escaped only to realize the three were still inside. Two police officers suffered smoke inhalation during the incident.
