Dead are Linda Bell, 13, Patricia Bell, 7, Marion Bell, 7, and Antonia Bell, 3. They were the children of Bernice Bell, who was at work when the blaze broke out. The house's eight occupants were asleep in two second-floor rooms when the fire started.

Jerry Woods, 51, the uncle, smelled smoke and yelled to wake the others when he saw flames and smoke pouring from the kitchen. He broke two windows in the front of the house and then climbed out on a roof over the front porch. Woods grabbed Emma Bell, 8, and threw her to a next-door neighbor, Norman Williams, who had responded to his calls for help. Robert Bell, 10, climbed on to the roof and walked along a gutter to the edge where he leaped three feet to the roof of the home of Mr. and Mrs.
