FORT WAYNE, Ind. — A pregnant woman and her two young sons died in a fire that swept through their Fort Wayne home.
Fire Department officials say two others were injured in Saturday’s blaze, including a man who jumped from a second-story window.
Fire Capt. Henry Willis says arriving firefighters found the second floor fully engulfed in flames and that the fire was too intense to go inside.
Family members said those killed were 23-year-old Brandi Bender, who was eight months pregnant, and her sons, 5-year-old Nicholas Adkins and 4-year-old Peyton Bender.
Willis says the fire began in the first-floor kitchen, but its cause was not immediately known.
