Teen Killed, Child Hospitalized After Muncie House Fire
MUNCIE, Ind. - An 18-year old is dead and doctors are treating an 8-month old at Riley Hospital for Children after a fire broke out in Muncie. It happened around 5:30 Sunday morning.
Fire investigators say 18-year old Alihah Brookins was just inches from the back door, when she died.
There were at least six people inside of the home, including two twins, a two-year old and their mother.
Firefighters rescued 8-month old twin, Savasia, who lived at the house with her mother.
"They brung a little baby out of the house, she wasn't breathing and they had to rush her out to the hospital," neighbor Peggy Ramey said.
Peggy and her sister Amanda, said they often looked after the children.
Doctors at Riley Hospital for Children are treating Savasia.
"They call me nana, I'm like their babysitter, or their older sister," Peggy said.
"Just little angels, in my mind did nothing wrong," Amanda said.
"It's hard because, anything could go wrong with Savasia and I don't want nothing to happen to them," Peggy said.
Peggy said Brookins was a good friend. She was just staying the night at the home to help the children's mother.
"She would help Jennifer with the twins and Journey and help keep them under control when everything was under chaos," Peggy said.
The Battalion Chief was told that the gas service had been shut off, inside the people were using a stove to heat the house.
Muncie's overnight temperature hovered around freezing.
Investigators believe that is how the house caught on fire.
Friends tell 24-Hour News 8, the 8-month old will stay at Riley Hospital for a couple more days.
The fire is still under investigation.
