Tennessee ? An early Saturday morning fire killed five children and two adults, but three youths were able to escape and were being treated for burns.

Next-door neighbor Lamar Boyce said he was awakened around 5:30 a.m. by the victims’ cries for help and saw two of the survivors jump from a second-story window.

The two teenagers and an 11-year-old boy who escaped were hospitalized with second-degree burns on their faces and hands, Fire Department spokesman Lt. Keith Staples said.

Alicia Bradley, 31, who said she was Poole’s cousin and was speaking on behalf of the family, gave the ages of those killed: three girls, ages 7, 4 and 9; two boys, ages 1 and 5; and an 18-year-old male.
