Tragedy as Infant Dies in Burning Car | Seattle News

A car fire in Tumwater claimed the life of a five-month-old infant strapped in a car seat, after the vehicle caught flames while the father briefly stepped away to retrieve belongings. A 12-year-old sibling helped rescue a 2-year-old, but by the time they returned, the car was fully engulfed. Despite heroic efforts by the father, neighbors, and first responders, the baby died at the scene — and several rescuers suffered burns. Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, with updates to follow. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
