COLUMBUS, Ohio — A man and a woman were critically injured after a fire broke out at a home in the Franklinton neighborhood Thursday morning, according to the Columbus Division of Fire.
Crews were called to the 300 block of South Yale Avenue near Sullivant Avenue sometime around 3:20 a.m. The caller told dispatchers that flames could be seen through the window and said no one lived at the location.
The battalion chief at the scene told 10TV that a man and woman were found unconscious inside a front room. They were rescued and taken to nearby hospitals in critical condition.
