COLUMBUS, Ohio - Fire swept through a two-story frame house early Friday, killing a woman and her three young children, but six other people managed to escape, a fire official said.
Two firefighters were treated for burns. The identities of the 18-year-old mother and her children were not immediately released.
The youngest child was 2 weeks old and the others were 1 and 2 years old, said Doug Smith, a battalion chief for the Columbus fire department.
