Woman dead, 5 hospitalized after house fire on Detroit’s west side

VIDEOS: One woman is dead, and five people, including a baby, were rescued from a house fire on Detroit’s west side, according to the city’s fire department.

The fire started Tuesday just before 10 a.m. at a home in the 20000 block of San Juan Drive. Neighbors rushed in to help rescue people from the home. “I grabbed one toddler out the side window and was actually able to kick the side door open so they could get out,” said neighbor T.J. Davis. “Then from there, I had to run in the kitchen and get the other boy,” TJ said. “When I kicked in the door, it was full of smoke, thick black smoke.” When firefighters arrived to the scene, they found a woman’s body in the home.
