MARION, Ohio (AP) — A three-year-old boy died Tuesday morning in a fire in a trailer home near Marion.
An adult and another child were injured but survived the blaze that heavily damaged the rural home about 45 miles north of Columbus, Pleasant Township Fire Chief Clint Canterbury said.
Canterbury says the two survivors — the mother and the one-year-old brother of the child who died — were suffering from smoke inhalation and frostbite. They were hospitalized in Columbus. Another adult also got out.
The call came in at 6:44 a.m., and flames were visible in the front windows and door by the time fire crews arrived. Brayden Blevins’ body was found in a bedroom.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
