WACO - We now know the identity of a 2-year-old boy who survived a mobile home fire that left three others dead.

Just after 6 p.m. on Feb. 16, a mobile home caught on fire in the 6300 block of N. 19th St.

Ashley Dawn Rogers, 27, and two of her three children, Maddison Marie Megginson, 4, and Gage Megginson, 8 months old, were all killed in that fire.

A neighbor was able to save one of the children, a two year old boy now identified as Kaiden Megginson after running into the burning home. Kaiden was transported to Hillcrest and later taken to Scott & White in Dallas by helicopter after suffering some cuts, bruises and minor burns. There were also concerns that he had inhaled smoke. Kaiden has been released into the custody of his aunt.

The Waco Fire Department, and State Fire Marshall are still investigating the cause of the fire. Waco Police are also investigating what they are calling "questionable deaths."
