1 dead, 5 injured in aftermath of fire on San Juan Drive in Detroit

One person is dead and five others are injured in the aftermath of a fire Tuesday morning on San Juan Drive in Detroit. 

Detroit Fire Chief Daniel Clapp said a woman was found dead inside the home near Norfolk Street. There were also five other people, including two children, at the home who were taken to a hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation and burns. 

It's devastating news for the close-knit neighborhood where everyone jumped in to help. Neighbors said they noticed something wasn't right at this home on Detroit's west side.

Witnesses said they heard glass shatter.

"I pulled up and seen the air conditioner on fire," said next door neighbor Anton Harris, next door neighbor.

"I see the glass breaking out of the basement, and so, I saw they were down there. I'm like, 'Oh my God.' I said I'm going to go get help," Angela Bone said.

They say a baby girl was pushed out the window, but there were five more people inside the house.

"I'm saying like it was a community effort, we all just, and don't even know these people other than them, you know, we all just, Hey, come on, let's just get into action," Harris said.

Timothy Davis, one of many who helped, said he pulled a 3-year-old boy from the home and kicked a door open so the others could escape.

"I don't know how to explain it, but I was, I'm just thankful I was able to actually help. I just hope, if any, if given the situation, I hope everybody do the same thing. I would do," Davis said.

It only took the fire department four minutes to get there. By then, the mother and father of the infant made it out of the house, as well as his 14-year-old sister. Their mother and the grandmother of the two smaller children didn't survive.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. 

This was one of two fatal fires on Tuesday morning in Detroit. The other was on Clippert Street, where one person and a dog were found dead.
