A partially melted wagon is among the toys strewn across the yard. Melted siding covers the home. Officials say it was fast moving fire that trapped 2-year-old Mikayla Beto and 6-year-old Anthony Claxton. The two children died in the blaze.
Police say Kristy Beto was upstairs when the fire started. She frantically tried to save her children. She was able to get her 4-year-old son to the rear of the house where a neighbor whisked him to safety. Her other children could not be saved.
Beto was transported to Temple University Hospital with burns to 20 percent of her body. The 4-year-old child was transported to St. Christopher's Hospital in an unknown condition.
Officials are continuing their investigation.
