A fire at a Marion home Sunday (2/24) afternoon sent one man to the hospital in critical condition and two firefighters were injured.
Firefighters responded around 1pm to a home in the 100 block of Neil Avenue. The call came from a resident who was paraplegic and was trapped inside.
Firefighters rescued the trapped man from the first-floor bedroom that at the time was heavily involved in the fire. The man was taken to Marion General Hospital. Two firefighters were burned with one being treated at Marion General.
The fire is still under investigation.
