Kan. woman critically injured in home fire

FIreWICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita authorities say a 40-year-old woman has been critically burned in a mobile home fire.

Authorities say a man and a woman were outside of the home Sunday when they responded to the fire. The man was treated at the scene for unknown injuries. The woman was hospitalized in critical condition.

Acting battalion chief Chad Winton says the home was destroyed and estimates the fire caused $90,000 in damage. He says the fire started in the living room and its cause is unclear. He says the home had working smoke detectors.

A witness tells KAKE-TV the woman was cooking when her dress caught on fire.
