DELTONA, Fla. (AP) — Fire department officials say a 6-year-old boy was burned when a fire broke out in a central Florida duplex.
Deltona Fire Department officials say the fire started around 2 a.m. Tuesday. When firefighters arrived at the home, the fire was burning through the roof of both sides of the duplex. They helped seven people inside the duplex get out, but the boy was severely burned.
