A fatal fire broke out in a trailer home in the 17000 block of Western Hills Drive in east Montgomery County. The fire took the lives of two small children. The cause of the fire is now under investigation. But, neighbors said they told firefighters that as the mother of the children ran from the burning trailer, she told them, My children must have been playing with a lighter again. When firefighters arrived on the scene, the front-end side of the trailer was completely engulfed in flames.
Neighbors describe the scene as heart wrenching.
My kids, my kids, trying to open my door, which I keep locked. And, I looked up and she did not have any clothes on, other than a bra, witnessed neighbor, Terri Trevino. The flames, the flames kept me back. I couldn t do nothing. I tried, but I couldn t do nothing, said attempted rescuer, David Rodriguez.
