ROY, Utah (AP) — Authorities in Utah say five people escaped a pre-dawn house fire, including two children who were hospitalized for treatment of smoke inhalation.
KSL-TV reports (http://bit.ly/14dtAYQ ) that fire officials think a space heater might have sparked the fire about 4:30 a.m. Monday at a home near 1900 West and 4900 South in Roy.
Officials say a woman arrived home from work and put the two small children in a crib in a room with a space heater about 40 minutes before the children's uncle awoke to find smoke and flames.
The uncle is credited with rescuing the children while fire damaged the front of the house.
