SEDGWICK COUNTY — Investigators continue work to determine the cause of a fatal Thanksgiving Weekend house fire.

Just after 5a.m. Friday, fire crews responded to a house fire in the 1800 Block of North Lorraine in Wichita, according to Fire Captain Kelly Zane.

A neighbor on the scene told fire crews there was still someone in the home.

Fire crews did discover the body of 2-year-old Aaliyah Abrahim. Her father was also in the home. He attempted to rescue the child and was overtaken by the fire, according to Zane.

The man was transported to the hospital for treatment. He remained hospitalized on Monday.

Friends have established an online fundraising page in order to assist the family.

The fire caused over $20,000 dollars damage to the home. This is Wichita’s sixth fire fatality in 2017.
