DAYTON, Ky. — A Dayton, Kentucky, family is rebuilding and healing after a fire destroyed their home and sent their son to the hospital two weeks ago .

On Aug. 12, Marshall Kilgore saved three of his youngest children from a house fire that destroyed everything inside the home.

His security cameras caught the whole incident on camera, including Kilgore’s 3-year-old son, Braxtyn, who is autistic and non-verbal, starting the fire in the home's main bedroom.

“He was only out of our sight for 2 minutes, 2 and a half minutes, and it started going up,” Kilgore said.

Security cameras show Braxtyn playing with a lighter and then setting a blanket on the bed on fire. Within minutes, the entire bed was in flames, and the bedroom was filled with smoke.
