[From article]
Four young children, including a baby and twin girls, died after a fire broke out in their Philadelphia home in the early hours of Saturday - and now officials are looking into the possibly that the deadly blaze was caused by a firecracker.
The fire, which started just before 3am, destroyed eight rowhouses and spread to a further 10, effectively wiping out an entire city block and leaving an estimated 42 people homeless.
The mother of two of the victims had tried desperately to save the children - her four-year-old twin daughters, a one-month-old boy, and a boy, also aged four - but was beaten back by the flames.
