Fire in North St. Louis homes, sends two to the hospital
A 6-year-old boy has died from injuries he got in a North County house fire.
Just before 11 Wednesday morning, firefighters were called to the house, just north of I-70 off Union, after neighbors reported an explosion. Rescuers pulled the boy from the home and rushed him to the hospital, where he died this afternoon.
Investigators say the family was using space heaters in the home and had no working smoke detectors. The rest of the family escaped the fire.
