SAVANNAH - A 7-year-old girl has died from injuries she received in a fire that gutted her family&#39;s house and killed three others. <br> <br> Hushaiane Davis, two women and a 4-year-old boy died in the early Friday morning blaze. <br> <br> Six others escaped but were injured, including four children. One of them was a 9-day-old boy who wasn&#39;t breathing but was revived by his mother. Most of them remained hospitalized. <br> <br> The fire was probably accidentally lit by burning candles, investigators said. <br> <br> ``It&#39;s just total devastation,&#39;&#39; said Savannah Fire Capt. Mike Taylor. ``Not only from the point of view of their loss, the structural loss and loss of property, but when you lose a loved one it&#39;s twice the devastation.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> A neighbor, Oji Lukata, helped save the survivors from the fire by finding a ladder and helping them climb down from a second-floor window in the burning house.
