Tragic Pennsylvania House Fire Claims Six Foster Children
In Quakertown Pennsylvania a fast spreading blaze killed six children in a one story wooden home near the town. A seventh child was critically burned and the father 52 sat in a state police car as investigators worked. The victims were four foster children of Chester Allen Sr and the two biological sons Eric 11 and David 11. Chester Allen Jr 19 said he left the home with his wife and sister to fetch the mother from a nursing home. The family tried to reach the children but heat drove them back. Alonzo 12 survived with critical injuries and was taken to a local hospital. The mother and other relatives were treated for burns.
