Virginia Estrada, 44, and one of her daughters jumped out of a window to escape. They suffered serious burns, and a second daughter was also hurt but not as badly.

"We knew somebody was up there. The mother was telling us that somebody was up there. But you just feel helpless at that point, you know?" said Tony Skaronea, a neighbor.
