They screamed and banged the door to warn the people inside. Four people who rented the second floor managed to jumped down.
Six family members, who were on the ground floor, could not escape. The youngest was only 1 year old.
The fire spread quickly. Although firefighters arrived soon later and controlled the fire, almost everything inside was burned down. Two houses next door were slightly damaged.
Police are investigating the cause. The ground floor of the house serves as a coffee shop.
