“One thing occurred, sure, with the range, and that ignited, and they also had been in a position to extinguish that, however the police, I believe, got here in first and pulled my mother out first earlier than the hearth division was even right here,” mentioned James Speir, the lady’s son.
The girl was handled on the scene for smoke inhalation and brought to Lagrange Memorial Hospital.
Officers consider a gasoline leak sparked the flames.
