ROGERS, Ark. — One person was injured in a house fire in the 5300 block of South 44th Place on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, according to Rogers Fire Deputy Chief Dusty Qualls.
According to Qualls, the house fire alarm company called in, and crews were dispatched at around 11:22 a.m.
Fire crews found two victims inside the home. One needed to be airflighted, so emergency crews took them to an area where a helicopter could land. Once the helicopter arrived, the victim was transported to a burn unit in Springfield. The victim's age has not been released and his condition is still unknown. The other victim was unharmed, according to Qualls.
Fire crews were able to contain the fire, which was located in the room where the injured victim was found, by 11:45 a.m. No firefighters were injured.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time and is under investigation. Qualls said the home did not appear to be a total loss.
Qualls said the home's fire alarms "likely saved their lives."
