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.
Firefighters then went into the burning home and managed to pull a three-year-old boy and seven-year-old out, but they were unresponsive and later were pronounced dead at the hospital.
One firefighter suffered burns trying to save the two children.
The cause of the fire is under investigation at this time.

North Nashville lost a passionate advocate and historian with the passing of Lorenzo Washington. I had the pleasure to get to know him while working on a story and left with a wealth of information and appreciation for how Jefferson Street shaped the sound of Music City. Aaron Cantrell shows us how Lorenzo will forever be part of that.
