AURORA, Ill. (AP) - Officials say a 4-year-old girl has died and an adult and baby were injured in an Aurora townhome fire.

Aurora fire officials say firefighters responded to the four-unit townhome Wednesday afternoon. Fire officials say the girl died in the fire. A 25-year-old woman and 5-month-old baby girl suffered smoke inhalation and burns. They were treated at the scene before being taken by air for treatment at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood.
