A man and woman were evacuated from the house, but the man collapsed outside and went into cardiac arrest. Medics on the scene were able to “re-establish a pulse” en route to the hospital, where the man was admitted in critical condition.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The Red Cross is helping the family with housing.
