Mother and toddler hospitalized, baby killed after Zanesville fire
ZANESVILLE, Ohio (WCMH) -- A mom and her two-year-old have been hospitalized and an infant has died in a fire in Cannelville, officials said.
South Zanesville Fire Department Chief Russell Taylor said two different helicopters life-lifted the mother and two-year-old to different hospitals after a fire broke out on East Street in Cannelville. Taylor said the mother has first and second degree burns, and the two-year-old has second and third degree burns.
An eight-month-old baby boy could not be located for some time during the chaos, but Taylor said he was informed around 5:45 p.m. that the baby died. A coroner has been called to retrieve the baby from the scene.
Taylor said the home was a "total loss," and that it will take time to uncover the cause of the fire.
