A western Kansas house fire has killed a mother and her three children.
The Hutchinson News reported that the fire started Saturday morning in the laundry room of a two-bedroom house in Scott City. Flames filled the bedrooms, and Scott City Fire Chief Ken Hoover says there was no way to get out.
One child died initially, while the mother and two other children were flown to Wichita where they died Saturday afternoon. As of Sunday afternoon, their names still hadn’t been released.
The fire completely destroyed the home, although neighboring homes weren’t threatened.
Scott City is about 30 miles north of Garden City.
