Pike County mom fighting for life

Posted: Updated:

PIKE COUNTY, KY. (WDRB) -- A mother who lost her four children and their father in a house fire is fighting for her life.

Tammie Tucker suffered serious burns in a house fire in rural Pike County earlier this week.

She's being treated at the UK medical center in Lexington.

Firefighters found the victims in the living room near an electric space heater.

Officials have not confirmed if that's what started the blaze, but do say that's where the fire started.

Memorial funds have been set up at banks in the area and students are bringing money to their schools to contribute.
