Three children and a woman were killed in a house fire in Haltom City on Thursday evening.
The fire was reported at a two-story home in the 4900 block of Colonial Park at about 5:15 p.m. It appeared from Chopper 5 that the fire was out before 6 p.m.
MedStar EMS said fire crews pulled a 6-month-old girl, a boy who is 5 or 6 years old, a girl who is 10 or 11 years old and a woman from the house. They sustained smoke inhalation and had minor burns, MedStar said.
Firefighters found the children and the woman from upstairs, MedStar said.
The children were taken to Cook Children's Medical Center, and the woman was taken to North Hills Hospital. MedStar confirmed later Thursday night that the three children and the woman had died.
A neighbor tells NBC 5 that the three children were siblings and the woman was the children's grandmother.
Crews from North Richland Hills and Fort Worth assisted Haltom City firefighters in battling the fire.
A neighbor called 911 when he noticed the fire.
"I walked out and I noticed the front window -- there was smoking coming out of it -- so I ran next to it to the curb and I yelled, 'Hey! Your house! The house is on fire! Is anybody in there?' And nobody said anything, so I called 911," Phillip Heard said.
Heard said he thought the house was empty.
Several neighbors broke down when they heard the news about the deaths.
Heard said he was heartbroken.
"It's just very devastating to know that this tragedy happened," he said.
"Oh, we're here for them," said Connie Webb, another neighbor. "We're just a close neighborhood. We try to be, a lot of us, and we try to watch out for each other's homes, even if we don't know each other."
Webb said the children's mother was at work when the fire broke out and rushed home in tears.
"I hugged her when she walked up and I said, 'Go to the hospital and be with your family. We'll watch out for your home and take care of everything,'" Webb said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
NBC 5's Amanda Guerra contributed to this report.
