ORIGINAL STORY: Toddler in critical condition after house fire on Otsego Street in Detroit

Multiple people were inside the multi-family home on Otsego Street when the fire started, but fire crews carried each child out. All residents made it out alive.

A neighbor said they woke up to a noise and heard people arguing in the unit below them before their daughter alerted them to the smoke.

Officials said five children -- between the ages of 5-10 -- were taken to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.
