«Breaking News» House fire kills 3 young siblings in southern Indiana city

Three young siblings were killed and their mother was hospitalized after she tried to save them from a house fire early on Friday in a small southern Indiana city, officials said.

Fire crews and police officers tried to enter the burning two-story home, but were driven back by flames, Tell City Fire Chief Greg Linne said.

Firefighters arrived to find 'fire shooting from almost every window on the ground floor,' he said.

Eleven-year-old Danielle Plock Sims, 6-year-old Thomas Plock Sims and 3-year-old Roseanna Plock Sims died in the fire, officials said.

The children's mother, Selina Applegate, had tried unsuccessfully to get the siblings out of the home. 

Applegate and two other children escaped the blaze with non-life-threatening injuries, and one of the children called 911 about 3.25am Central.

Danielle Plock Sims, 11, Thomas Plock Sims, 6, and Roseanna Plock Sims, 3, died in a house fire in Indiana early on Friday after their mother, Selina Applegate, was unable to save them.

'I'm not sure how she escaped,' Tell City Police Chief Derrick Lawalin said of Applegate, who was hospitalized in fair condition. 

'We do understand there were efforts made by her to reach her children.'

The Indiana State Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of the fire in the Ohio River city about 70 miles (110 kilometers) southwest of Louisville, Kentucky.

Hours after the fire, a small memorial that included an angel and a teddy bear had been erected next to a tree outside the fire-gutted house.

'Last night the community lost three wonderful children, full of potential. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family in this trying time,' Tell City-Troy Township Schools said in a statement. 

It said counselors and social workers were available for anyone affected by the fire that occurred just three blocks from Tell City Junior Senior High School.

Tell City Mayor Jim Adams called on the community of about 7,300 to support the family during the tragedy, coming only days after Christmas.

'This is supposed to be a joyous time,' he said. 'I want to let everybody know we, as a city, we want to just wrap our arms around these family members because we want them to know they're not alone.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
