CANTON, TEXAS — A mother and her four babies are gone in one of the worst tragedies Van Zandt County has seen in years.

Jasmine Henson, 27, and four children have died following a devastating house fire early Wednesday morning near Canton, Texas, authorities reported.

The fire happened around 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21, off County Road 4127, about 60 miles southeast of Dallas, near Canton.

When units arrived, they learned three people had escaped the house, but four children remained inside. Fire crews broke through a wall and entered the home and found the children.

Officials initially confirmed an 8-year-old boy, a 5-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl died in the fire.

Emergency crews life-flighted a 10-year-old boy to Parkland Hospital in Dallas, where he remained in critical condition. An adult victim — Jasmine Henson, 27 — was also taken to Parkland in critical condition.

Later on Wednesday, their mother died as a result of her injuries.

Four young children are dead and one other person is in critical condition following an overnight house fire in Van Zandt County. Later on Wednesday, their mother died as a result of her injuries, Van Zandt County Fire Marshal Kevin Palmer confirmed Wednesday night.

Van Zandt County Fire Marshal Kevin Palmer said on Wednesday night that the woman has died, as well. The children’s mother is also in critical condition following the tragedy — she did not survive.

In a grim update, Fire Marshal Kevin Palmer confirmed the 10-year-old boy died from his injuries at the hospital as well, bringing the total to mother and four children killed.

Ambulances took the other two occupants — the father and the children’s grandmother — to the hospital as a precautionary measure.

Crews from Canton, South Van Zandt, Ben Wheeler, and Wills Point tackled the blaze.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. The fire marshal said additional information was expected later Wednesday.

Canton ISD released a statement following the death of the children. Van Zandt County is now rallying together after the deputy’s death and this fatal house fire — residents gathering to support grieving families through prayers, vigils and fundraisers after two tragedies shook the county in 24 hours.

At 12:30 in the morning, while most of Canton slept, a family was trapped. Three escaped. Four children did not. And then a mother who tried to save them — Jasmine Henson, just 27 years old, with four beautiful children, ages 3, 5, 8, and 10 — was taken too.

Four children. One mother. One home off County Road 4127. Gone.

Our deepest condolences go out to the Henson family, to the father, to the grandmother, to Canton, Texas, and to all of Van Zandt County.

Rest in peace, Jasmine Henson, 27. Rest in peace to your four precious babies. 8, 5, 3, and 10 years old — gone too soon, but forever loved in Canton.
