LIVINGSTON, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two children were killed in a house fire in Livingston over the weekend, according to local fire officials.
One adult and nine children were inside the home on Railroad Street at around 1:30 on Saturday when the home caught on fire. According to Fire Chief Rocky Dial, neighbors and the adult were able to get seven of the children out.

One firefighter suffered burns trying to save the two children.
The cause of the fire is under investigation at this time.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
