Woman, 2 Woman, 2 kids die in Indianapolis house fire la of with 2010. 22, Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS A man trying to find a way out his burning home got trapped in its bathroom Saturday and could only listen in horror to the screams of two of his children, who died in the fire along with his girlfriend, friends and authorities said. The man escaped by breaking a window and jumping out. Daniel Fox, 37, told fire investigators he ran into the first-floor bathroom of the two-story rental house, looking for a way out for himself and the three others after the blaze broke out around 6 a.m. But the door, which had no doorknob, closed behind him and he couldn't open it.
Fox's children apparently were overcome by smoke as they pounded on the door, yelling for their father during the fire, which Fox escaped by smashing out a bathroom window and jumping out, said Capt. Rita Reith of the Indianapolis Fire Department. Family friend David Wethington said Fox, bleeding from cuts from the broken glass, tried to re-enter the burning home on Indianapolis' east side but was driven back by dense smoke and flames. He said Fox is anguished that he couldn't save his children and girlfriend. "They were screaming, saying, "Help, help, help!" Wethington said.
"He heard them hollering, and he tried to get in there. He's dying inside because he couldn't get to them in time. It's killing him that he couldn't save his own kids."
