Why We Search: Columbus Firefighters Rescue Child in Vacant House Fire

It’s not just drunks and drug addicts in these joints

An 8-year old Columbus boy is in critical condition after having been rescued from a vacant house fire. Columbus firefighters responded to the Hamilton Road home and saw one young boy running from the structure. Inside they found the injured boy under a sheet. He was transported to Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Both youth are suspected of setting trash inside the home on fire.

Update via our Facebook page:

"Doug Wortman: Lt Brian Conaway made a nice call and hopefully a save. Engine was out of service. L23 hit it with 2 cans and did a primary waiting for the Engine to arrive, found the child. Zero visibility!"
