Parents absent as toddlers killed in house fire

Two young children died in a house fire in Guadalajara’s Alamo Industrial neighborhood in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Neighbors alerted the emergency services after being awoken by the flames at the property at Calle Fuelle 1892. Firefighters from the Guadalajara Fire Department and the State Civil Protection agency broke into the burning building in an attempt to rescue the two children trapped inside. It proved too late with three-year-old Dante and his two-year-old sister Regina found dead in one of the bedrooms, having suffocated from the fumes and then suffered 80-percent burns.
