The deceased woman was a grandma, neighbours informed WFAA.
Ramiro Rodriguez, a neighbour, claimed he attempted to assist the family while also getting burned while doing so.
“Help, help, please, I hear a boy saying. He was outside when I ran to the house “Gonzalez claimed. “The two little boys were there as I walked inside the house. They had burning t-shirts.”
The cause of the fire is being looked into.
