Travel Tips PITTSBURGH (Map, News) - Fire raced through a three-story row house early Tuesday, killing five children, and authorities said they were looking for a teenage baby sitter who was supposed to be watching them. Neighbor Sontaya Perry, 22, said she could hear the children inside the house screaming as the fire raged from the windows before dawn. She said she tried to get in, but the wooden steps leading to the door were in flames. "They were screaming, and five minutes later they stopped screaming," Perry said. On the street outside, two boys were begging for someone to help for their brothers and sisters, she said. The victims, ages 3 to 7, were all found on the second floor, authorities said. One was dead on arrival at West Penn Hospital and two others died in the emergency room, said Stephanie Waite, a hospital spokeswoman. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's office said it had the bodies of a boy and a girl. Two other children were able to escape without injury. Police said a teenage baby sitter was supposed to be watching the children, who were from two families but all related, while their parents were out for the night. The baby sitter had not been located as of late morning and police only knew her nickname, which they didn't disclose, Police Chief Nate Harper said. "We have a lot of people out there working hard. ... Hopefully we'll have answers in a short period of time," he said. The young victims were identified as Cedano Holyfield, 4; Daekia Holyfield, 7; Dezekiah Holyfield, 3; Andre Rankin, 6; and Azquel Rankin, 5. The Holyfield children lived in the home, authorities said. Steve Pilarski, manager of administration at the Medical Examiner's office, said all the children were related, but he couldn't provide details. Tuesday morning, investigators were inside the gutted and blackened house skeleton of the home, examining what remained and trying to determine the cause of the fire, which officials believe started on the home's second floor. Officials said flames had been shooting from all three floors of the building in the city's East Liberty section when firefighters arrived around 1:20 a.m. The blaze also damaged a vacant building next door.
