Officials say one man is dead... a woman and two children remain hospitalized after what fire investigators and witnesses call a smoky, fast moving blaze.
At least one of the children was pulled from the burning home located on Evansvilles east side.. on Welworth Road near the State Hospital grounds.
Firefighters did CPR on the little boy after rescuing him from the home... possibly from an upstairs bedroom.
He was breathing when they loaded him in the ambulance.
Right now, his condition is listed in critical condition at a local hospital.
A woman and another child made it out on their own... according to witnesses.
All of this unfolded on this quiet residential street around 8:30 Friday morning.
The coroners office identified the man who died. His name is Kevin Kunze.
Neighbors who spoke to FOX 7 say they dont know a lot about the family.
Fire investigators belive the blaze started in the front room of the house, but they are not sure if there were smoke detectors inside.
We will have much more on this story tonight on FOX 7 News.
