3-year-old leads sister to safety in Arizona blaze
November 20, 2009 11:45 PM

PHOENIX
Authorities say a 3-year-old Arizona boy helped his baby sister escape from a Friday morning house fire that killed their mother and injured two other adults.



The boy told authorities his mother helped the children to a doorway. Her body was later found a few feet away.

A sheriff's spokeswoman says the one-year-old girl has facial and torso burns and the girl's aunt was also severely burned. The two have been airlifted to a burn unit in Phoenix. They're listed in critical condition.

A fourth victim, a man in his 40s or 50s, had minor injuries.

Investigators say the fire started when a candle was knocked over.

The family's mobile home is on a state highway south of Phoenix. It's among several used by workers on a nearby farm.
