Defiance Fire

Fire­fight­ers from three area fire depart­ments were called out Sun­day to a house fire in Defi­ance. The call came in just after 3 yes­ter­day after­noon, and fire­fight­ers rushed to 336 North­wood Drive for a man who had report­edly caught fire. When they got there, they also found a two-story home on fire.

The burn­ing man, accord­ing to the Cres­cent News, was taken to ProMed­ica Defi­ance Regional Hos­pi­tal where an air ambu­lance was stand­ing by. No word on where he was trans­ferred, his iden­tity, or his con­di­tion today.

Defi­ance crews received mutual aid from High­land and Noble town­ship to fight the fire that had spread into the garage, attic and sec­ond floor of the home.
