Two people had to be flown to the hospital Sunday afternoon
after flames tore through a home in Man, West
Virginia
The state fire marshal's office is investigating the fire. It
happened just after 1:00 p.m. in the 400 block of Main Street
The fire marshal says a woman in her mid 50's and an elderly
man, about 80 years old, were inside the home.
The woman was able to drag the man out of the house, but both
suffered severe burns.
Investigators say a mattress was placed close to a heater.
They're looking into the possibility that that may have started it. However, no
official cause has been released.
According to the fire marshal, there were no working smoke
detectors inside.
