Three young children were left home alone to fend for themselves while smoke poured out of a second story window in the city's Brewerytown neighborhood Thursday night.
Officials say they responded to reports of a fire at the home on the 1700-block of N. Newkirk Street just before 7 p.m. Thursday. Once there, they discovered the children, 2, 4 and 9, after breaking a window and pulling them out.
The children were home alone at the time, according to police. Their rescue was caught on cell phone video by a neighbor.
All three kids were taken to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where they are in stable condition.
