The woman injured in a house fire early Tuesday morning is still in intensive care, but her children are recovering and staying with family, the American Red Cross reported.
The woman, identified by a family friend as Elsie Lopez, suffered severe smoke inhalation and possible inhalation burns when fire broke out in a duplex at 409 South Sixth St. just before 1 a.m.
Her children, daughters age 5 and 6 and a son age 9, suffered less severe smoke inhalation and were released after being treated.
The fire destroyed the unit the family was staying in.
