PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Officials say one of the children injured in the house fire in Olney last week has died.
Philadelphia Fire Department Captain Dixon announced today that the 11-month-old boy rescued from the house fire that broke out Thursday night on the 300 block of East Sheldon Street has died from his injuries.
The six-year-old boy injured in the fire remains in critical condition.
