little girl was the only one in the basement when the fire started around 11:00 this morning firefighters arriving at the scene within minutes were confronted with intense smoke and heat, there was only one smoke detector in the basement and it did not have a battery it only took 3 gal. of water and less than 15 minutes to put the blaze out a little girl, a kindergartner was overcome by smoke the fire was possibly started by a match igniting a plastic basket full of clothes the fire chief and i wouldn't confirm if this could be a case of a child playing with matches. we have determined that it was a fire that was set by a flaming hand-held device but who said it

or if it was accidental we cannot determine that she was the only one in the basement. she was very bubbly and she loved to play everywhere. she would come over to my house and just play with all of the toys we had she would love to play with everyone. >> the girl's mother was at work at the time of the fire tonight she is staying with friends and several other people who live here have been displaced as well the fire chief brought in what is called a critical stress debriefing teams for the first responders some of whom are having a very difficult time knowing that even though they did all they could they could not save this little girl. the body of a man who has been missing for a week or so was found in a pond south barrington

the same time made it clear where he stands. i'm open to new ideas i'm committed to solving our fiscal challenge. but, i refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced. i am not going to ask students and seniors and middle-class families to pay down the entire deficit while people like me making over $250,000 are not asked to pay a dime more in taxes. >> the top 5 percent of all taxpayers pay about 50 percent of the income taxes already. he said it's really going to be up to obama and vader to hammer out a deal and if no deal is reached he said there would likely be another recession. today speaker
