One man and two young girls died in a house fire early Thursday morning in Glenarden, Md.
One other child was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Another 8-year-old child and a woman escaped the home.
The girls who were injured are 5, 8 and 10 years old, News4's Tony Tull reported from the scene. There is no word yet on the age of the children who died.
The fire in the single-story brick home in the 8600 block of Leslie Avenue broke out about 4 a.m. When firefighters arrived, they found flames and heavy smoke.
A search of the home found the four victims. All were not breathing and had no pulse when they were taken from the home; firefighters had to perform CPR at the scene.
Prince George's Fire Chief Marc Bashoor reported that rescuers were able to restore the pulse of one of the children. That child is in critical condition in a local hospital.
The two people who escaped the home are in stable condition.
The home was destroyed, Tull reported. An investigation is continuing.
