MORROW - A 16-month-old boy died after an electric short caused a fire that gutted his home, authorities said. <br> <br> Morrow fire Chief David Wall said the fire started about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in a lamp near a living room window. Fire officials were not immediately called to the house, where a non-English speaking caretaker was baby-sitting young Victor Truong and his 3-year-old sister, Wall said. <br> <br> ``Our 911 call came from a business in Morrow where someone who spoke English had been called and told of the fire,&#39;&#39; Wall said. <br> <br> Vietnamese police interpreter Trung Lee said the caretaker went to the bathroom and returned to find a room filled with smoke. She got the girl out but was unable to save the boy. <br> <br> The parents were at their newly opened business in Sharpsburg, about 30 miles away.
