ORLANDO, Fla. – Three toddlers who were hiding in a bathroom were rescued after a home in Orlando caught fire Monday afternoon, according to the Orlando Fire Department.
The mother of the children rushed inside the home to save the toddlers.
"They were in grave danger. If the mom wouldn't have been able to get them out who knows what would have happened to them," assistant fire chief Paul Plaugher said. "She suffered minor burns but all in all she saved her children's lives."
Officials said six people in total were displaced by the fire on Radleigh Place. Bars on the windows of the home made it difficult for the occupants of the home to escape the flames.
The fire was extinguished by 1:15 p.m.
Officials from the Orlando Utilities Commission said the home did have power at the time of the fire and that there were no wires down in the area.
The American Red Cross has been notified.
