Thursday, Mar 34, at around 3:30 pm, Franklin County Fire Departments worked a possible structure fire with likely burn victims. Crews arrived on the scene to find a grease fire they had already extinguished before arrival and two burn patients with second and third-degree burns over 30% of their bodies. Flight for Life had auto-launched, given the nature of the 911 call. Crews assisted EMS with patient care and transport. Both patients went to Parkland Burn Center in stable condition. Great work by all on the scene.
