We want to turn toback breakn news now. Ws now. Very serious news coming out ofo baltimore. Six children still unaccountednt for after an overnight househtou fire in the city. Y. Fox5s Melanie Alnwick has justt arrived on the scene. Ne. Melanie, what can you tell usell about whats going on there now . Reporter the latest a very v grim search has begun. M search i want to show you the house h e there. You can see it where the smokemo is still rising smoldering thert inside this home. Thise. It was completely engulfed whenn firefighters arrived. Rred it began at 12 30 this morning. G were on spring brook springg wood avenue just off of bell air road otherwise known as route 11 youre going to see an excavator that came from. F what is happening now, is that firefighters are basicallyal having parts of the front of the building pulled away and then tn theyre going to have to liftg o some debris and do a hand searcc for these six children that are believed to be unaccounted for r inside this home. Om now, when firefighters arrivedsd there was a woman and three thr other children outside of the home. They were taken to the hospital. The woman is believed to be the mother eight months to 11 years old. The mother and two of thef children are in criticalcal condition. Ion one child in serious condition. I asked the fire chief here howh confident he was that theen children were insidt hee. Nsid his answer to me was that wevee been reporting on thi extensively since 4 00 their this morning if those 0 children were anywhere else, they feely f they would heeave known by now. W i asked him how did they knowheo there were six children insidend there . And he told me they havh been in contact with theact th t childrens father who was not aa the home at the time. Tim but he could not characterizeiz the parents relationship. Io did he and know if the fatherate lived here or lived somewhere else at this point. Pnt so it sound like theyre prettyt confident that those six children perhaps are in that house and if indeed they are ini this house, theres little literally no way they could have survived you see back out live that excavator here pulling awaa the front of this home is whats expect that there will be somees flare ups occasionally because c it is still smoldering and burning well underneath. So as they start to remove the t debris and the layers of thes oe collapse because the third floof collapsed into the second andnd then those two layers collapseda down on to the first, and so theyve got fire hoses stillho standing by because they do expect there going to go ino goi there. We here in the media being veryv very careful with what we are ae going to shoot and what werehaw going to show you because it is expected its possible as they bring those loads of debris outt that there could be some young victims inside. Ins back to you guys. Heartbreaking. Mel, i know its still early. W t do they have any idea what coull have caused this . Reporter no, none at all really way too too early to tell. Isnt i imagine so. Mel thank you for update. Isnt o well check in with you. What do you say . No words. Wds too heartbreaking. Br go from baltimore to northerr virginia. Rginia. Another situation stillher developing there. De involving a schoolbus and aoolba tractor trailer. Tor ailer. It happened in leesburg. Two students on that bus takenak to the hospital as a precaution. They complained of minor min headaches. No major injuries here. It happen at 7 30 this morningoi but the truck took off. That truck is described as being red and white in color. Cor take a picture from sky fox right now you can see theee the schoolbus just now being towedet from the scene. Om the sce but at this point, investigators and authorities still lookingl o for the tractor trailer that maa have been involved in thatd in t incident involving a schoolbusls in loudoun county.
