A FAMILY MEMBER SET HER ON FIRE. I HAVE WITH ME NOW CHIEF THOMAS WITH THE FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT. FROM A FIRE POINT OF VIEW, WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME HAPPENED? SO AT ABOUT 1026 THIS MORNING, WE RECEIVED A CALL FOR AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE BACKYARD ON FIRE DURING OUR RESPONSE, WE WERE CALLED BY THE NEIGHBOR WHO SAID THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE STRUCTURE. WE UPGRADED OUR RESPONSE TO A FULL STRUCTURE FIRE UPON ARRIVAL, WE DID FIND A FEMALE IN THE BACKYARD SUFFERING SERIOUS INJURIES. SHE SUBSEQUENTLY WAS TRANSPORTED TO A LANDING ZONE AND FLOWN BY AIR CARE TO THE HOSPITAL. I DO NOT HAVE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ON HER CONDITION. CREWS EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. WE HAVE NOTIFIED THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL’S OFFICE AND THE BUTLER COUNTY FIRE INVESTIGATION TEAM AND IT WILL BE A JOINT INVESTIGATION USING THOSE TWO ENTITIES ALONG WITH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND AT THIS POINT, WE’RE STILL INVESTIGATING AND WE’RE WAITING FOR SERGEANT MCCROSKEY TO RETURN HERE WITH A WARRANT. AND I UNDERSTAND SHE ACTUALLY JUMPED OUT OF A SECOND STORY WINDOW ON FIRE, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT WAS THE INITIAL REPORT THAT WE RECEIVED OVER THE RADIO. I HAVE NOT TALKED TO HER. SO I DON’T KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY OTHER INFORMATION FROM HER IF THAT DID HAPPEN WITH WHAT I’M HEARING FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD SEE IT’S A TWO STORY STRUCTURE, TWO STORY HOUSE. BUT BEHIND IF SHE JUMPED OUT OF A WINDOW FROM BEHIND, IT’S MORE LIKE THREE AND A HALF STORIES BECAUSE OF THE DROP BEHIND THE HOUSE. THAT’S CORRECT. THERE’S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT GRADE FROM THE FRONT YARD TO THE BACK YARD IN FACT, THE BASEMENT IS A WALKOUT. BASEMENT WITH A DOOR. SO IT’S MORE OF A THREE STORY.
