ELLENSBURG, Wash. (AP) — Ellensburg firefighters say a 31-year-old woman and two children died in a Ellensburg duplex fire early Saturday.
Fire officials told the Yakima Herald the duplex was already engulfed in flames when the first crews arrived at 12:45 a.m.
Firefighters were able to pull out the woman and a 6-year-old boy less than 15 minutes after arriving. After trying to revive them, they were declared dead at Kittitas Valley Community Hospital in Ellensburg.
The third victim, a 4-year-old boy, was discovered during another search of the home shortly after 1 a.m. He was declared dead at the scene.
