Five children have been killed in a house fire in the town of Edna, officials confirmed to ABC affiliate KTRK-TV.
The fire broke out around 5 a.m. Tuesday in the 300 block of Rowlett. When firefighters arrived, they found a 60- to 70-foot trailer home fully engulfed in flames.
A 32-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man were both outside of the home. The woman was rushed to Victoria's Citizens hospital with a severe cut. The man was not injured.
The fire marshal says they found the bodies of five children inside the trailer. Family identified the victims as 15-year-old Noah Ortiz, 13-year-old Nicholas Ortiz, Julian Ortiz, 6-year-old Ariana Hernandez and 5-year-old Liliana Hernandez.
A sixth child survived the fire. Relatives identified him as Johnny Hernandez, III. His father, Johnny Hernandez, Jr., and mother, Annabel Ortiz, were also able to get out alive. Relatives say she was severely injured trying to get the children out of the home.
Firefighters say it appears the blaze started in the kitchen area, but they do not have an exact cause.
Edna is located about 90 miles southwest of Houston. - culled
