Polk County Enterprise - December 2007
LIVINGSTON — Three children between the ages of 2 and 4 were killed when the mobile home they were in caught fire shortly after noon Wednesday.
Firefighters received a report of a fully involved structure fire on Brock Street at 12:20 p.m. Wednesday. The caller said people were trapped inside.
Livingston Police Department spokesman Lt. Matt Parrish said the three children were pronounced dead at the scene by Pct. 1 Justice of the Peace Darrell Longino.
Officials had not released the names of the three victims as of press deadline Wednesday.
A Livingston woman was taken to Memorial Medical Center - Livingston for evaluation of possible inhalation injuries, first responders said.
A total of 20 members of the Livingston Volunteer Fire Department battled the blaze that had already spread to two vehicles parked in front of the mobile home when emergency personnel arrived.
Investigators from the State Fire Marshals office were expected to arrive in Livingston late Wednesday to look for a cause of the fire, Parrish said.
