4-year-old boy dies in Bensenville house fire

July 24, 2014

A 4-year-old boy hiding behind a dresser didn't escape a house fire and died Wednesday afternoon in Bensenville despite the efforts of his mother, a neighbor, passers-by, police and firefighters. "Every minute seemed to be like 100 minutes," neighbor Kathleen Barroso said of their efforts to get to Martin Pletz. "You are trying to do something. ... You're only two feet from him and you just can't get to him."
