Tragic Ottumwa duplex fire claims child lives
A morning blaze in a two story Ottumwa duplex killed a child and left another dead. A mother and father were injured and a passerby helped a woman drop her two children to safety from the second floor. The father suffered extensive burns and a neighbor was exposed by smoke. A fourth resident survived with minor injuries while a county ambulance director caused a collision en route to the scene. The fire damaged the duplex and nearby structures remained largely unharmed.
