OKLAHOMA CITY — A fire that ripped through a home in Oklahoma City before dawn Wednesday killed a woman and her four children, fire and police officials said.

Firefighters who arrived about 6:30 a.m. found the bodies of Jeanine Bonnet, 28, and her children inside the two-story wood-frame home, Fire Department Major Tammy McKinney said. They found a man, Brian Poletto, 39, outside the burning house. He remained in critical condition at a local hospital later Wednesday with second- and third-degree burns to his back and arms, McKinney said.
