Third victim dies from Little Creek fire that killed 2 others

A third person has died from injuries sustained in a fire in Little Creek that killed two others and injured two more earlier this month.

The blaze, which killed a 9-year-old girl, a 42-year-old woman and on Thursday, a 38-year-old woman, began shortly after noon on Feb. 6 in the 300 block of Main St., fire officials said.

Firefighters rescued multiple people from the home. The child and 42-year-old woman died at a hospital almost immediately, while the 38-year-old died at Crozer Medical Center in Chester, Pennsylvania. 

Fire officials have not yet released the names of those killed. The other two people who were injured have since been released from the hospital.

According to Little Creek Fire Company Deputy Chief Steve Galvin, after receiving reports of the blaze, firefighters rushed over immediately.
