An elderly female was found the doorway leading from the parlor to the bedrooms in semi-conscious condition suffering from smoke inhalation. An elderly male was then found in the parlor unconscious and also suffering from smoke inhalation. |
The house is uninhabitable and the Red Cross was called to the scene to assist the family members. |
The male suffered some minor first- and second-degree burns to his arms. But the most life-threatening injuries were due to the toxic smoke the two inhaled. |
They were notified by a passer-by that someone inside the house was yelling for help. The firefighters advanced 10 to 15 feet into the burning home and found the body of an elderly female, semiconscious, saying her husband was still in there. |
