Three seriously injured in Waldron house fire

Waldron, In. — Three family members are battling critical injuries suffered in a Waldron fire earlier this week. The father, nine-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy are all in critical condition at Indianapolis area hospitals.

The mother and a three-year-old girl were treated and released at a local hospital.

A report from the Waldron Fire Department says just after midnight on Wednesday firefighters responded to the report of a structure fire with entrapment in the 100 block of Pearl Street.

Investigators say the father pulled family members through a front window except a nine-year-old before firefighters arrived. The girl was quickly rescued from the home when firefighters arrived.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, it is believed to be accidental.
