SALINA (AP) — Fire officials say a Salina man died after being critically burned while trying to rescue two dogs from a house fire.

Salina Fire Marshall Roger Williams says the victim — Darrell Pattillo, 49 — was injured in the fire Wednesday morning after he got one dog out of the burning home. He tried to go back in to the house for a second dog but first responders stopped him.

Pattillo was flown to a Wichita’s Via Christi-St.Francis Hospital, where he later died.

The second dog was found dead in the house.

Williams said the fire started in some wiring behind a freezer in a garage and damage to contents and the structure is estimated at $65,000.
