Tragedy in McDonald County, as fire crews find a 5-year-old girl's body inside a burned-out apartment building in Noel.

The sheriff says crews found the three-unit building engulfed at one end when they got there. It took seven neighboring departments to get the fire under control.

Authorities were told that a little girl was inside, but they couldn't get to her until after the flames were put out. Her dad was flown to Springfield with serious burns.

Their names have not been released.
