Back on Monday, 16 people were affected by the house fire including four children who were taken to the hospita in critical condition.
One child was released today, however, the rest remain at the hospital with their conditions said to be improving.
As the fire burned at around 7:00 a.m. Monday, most of the family was asleep, unaware of the danger inside.
At that very moment, Dana Scull, usually on her way to work at that time, was running late. Outside, she looked at her neighbor's home and saw two terrified little girls in the attic window desperately trying to escape a fire.
"There was a lot of smoke coming out, so they were just trying to get as much air as they could and hanging out the window, but, at the same time, trying not to fall," Scull said.
She called 911 and ran to the house, opened the front door and screamed for everyone to wake up and get out.
"Thank God that she was running a little lit late for work because, God forbid, who knows what would have happened if it wasn't for her," said fire victim Robert DiBona.
Making their way through thick smoke, firefighters and police arrived and helped finish evacuating the rented home.
"A total of 16 people were sleeping in the residence here at the time of the fire. We had 11 taken to hospitals," said Deputy Chief Paul Sandrock of the County Fire Marshal's office.
Several people were treated and released but Shannon Ryan and her four children, two of whom were hanging out that window, remained at the hospital with just the one being released Saturday. They were all sleeping on the top floor.
Grandmother Janet Ryan arrived Saturday to see what was left of the home. The kitchen and living room received the brunt of the damage, but smoke and water damage remains throughout the home.
One bright spot, however, was her daughter's engagement ring was found among the wreckage. She's not sure what will happen to the home that they rented for the last year and a half, but Janice says she doesn't want to move back due to all the memories that were left behind.
The Camden Co. Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of the fire. Officials say no smoke detectors were going off when they arrived and they could not locate any inside.
The owner of the home, Nancy Jones of Cherry Hill, says she had them installed and that she had no idea so many people were living there.
