When the fire broke out, there were seven people inside, including a mother, father and five children.

The fire chief on scene said if it weren't for the father's quick action, the incident could have been much worse.

WLWT spoke with the father, Marshall Kilgore, who said he was on the first floor and heard screaming on the second floor. He ran up and began taking children out of a burning room.

"I took off running upstairs. It was a different kind of scream," Kilgore told WLWT.
