Story out of Osceola County, Florida:
The boys, 6 and 8, reportedly told police that they were playing with a lighter and lit a cup on fire before putting it in a drawer inside their bedroom. The fire then spread.
Police said a neighbor was driving past their home at about 3 p.m. when she spotted smoke coming from the roof.
The woman pulled over and tried to get the boys out of the house, police said.
"She motioned for the children to come to her, but they went back inside," Osceola County sheriff's spokeswoman Twis Lizasuain said. "She ran into the residence and brought them outside."
Jonathan Lopez-Banos, 30, and Rosmarie Medina-Arroyo, 36, were reportedly at work during the incident and are now facing child-neglect charges.
The children had minor burns and were treated at the scene, according to reports.
The Florida Department of Children and Families took custody of the boys, who told police it wasn't the first time they'd been left alone. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
