PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities say a 6-year-old girl was burned when trying to put out a fire that caused her family’s Christmas tree and home to burn.
The Phoenix Fire Department says the girl is in stable condition after suffering burns to her hands, feet and other parts of her body.
Officials say the fire started Monday when the girl’s 5-year-old brother was holding a piece of paper over a candle in honor of their recently deceased father.
The paper caught fire and spread throughout the home.
Two adults rushed the two children and two dogs out of the home.
