MARSHALL, Texas — A woman and toddler were hospitalized following a house fire in Marshall.
According to the Marshall Fire Department, crews responded to a structure fire Wednesday, Jan. 15, around 5 a.m. in the 2200 block of Pinecrest Dr.
When firefighters arrived on scene, they found a wood-frame house with flames visible from the front windows and heavy smoke throughout.
“Marshall Police Department officers, who arrived first on scene, had already removed a double-window after hearing screams from inside,” the MFD said. “Marshall Fire Department crews immediately initiated rescue operations and located an unconscious 23-year-old female trapped under a fallen dresser. The victim was quickly extracted and transferred to emergency medical personnel. The homeowner had safely evacuated through a bedroom door prior to firefighters’ arrival and informed crews that a 22-month-old infant remained inside. Fire crews conducted an extensive search and located the infant in a void space between furniture in another bedroom.”
The MFD says the woman and toddler were taken to a local hospital for treatment.
“The cause of the fire was determined to be unintentional and electrical in nature,” the MFD said.
