The girl advised crews that the residence was filled with smoke and she, her mother and her siblings, ages two and three, couldn't get out.

Police located the location of the fire, forced entry into the apartment and found the young children an upstairs bedroom.

The mother and her children were escorted to safety; then officers worked to clear the building of all other tenants as Toledo Fire crews arrived on scene.
