MADILL, OK -- A little girl in critical condition at OU Children's Hospital after she was pulled from a burning house in Madill has died Thursday.
First News learned on Thursday that the girl died at the Oklahoma City hospital Thursday after she was rushed to a Madill hospital last night, and then transported to the ICU at OU Medical Center via helicopter.
Madill firefighters say when they responded to the fire at 209 North 3rd Street around 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, someone was still inside.
Firefighter Mike Idleman says he rushed inside the burning building to save the little girl. He told us when he carried her out, she wasn't breathing.
June Standridge's daughter lives in the house, and says Idleman pulled the toddler from the burning house.
"A little 3-year-old was trapped inside the house and if it wasn't for Mike Idleman, the firefighter, the little girl wouldn't have been able to get out. They can replace the house, but they can't replace a life," Standridge said.
Firefighters say it took them more than 30 minutes to get the flames under control. They say the fire started in the kitchen and spread throughout the house, but the cause is still under investigation.
