Dec. 08--FORT WORTH -- A man crawled out of a bedroom window of a burning home and firefighters rescued a woman in the residence early Thursday at a house fire in southeast Fort Worth, a fire official said.

A family dog was killed in the blaze.

The fire was reported shortly after 1:30 a.m. Thursday in the 4800 block of Vinetta Drive.

When firefighters arrived, a 44-year-old man told them that a woman was still in the house. The man had escaped through a window, fire officials said.

Within seconds, firefighters discovered a 48-year-old woman in the house.

Fire officials did not release the names of the man or woman.

The woman was taken by helicopter to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. The man suffered second-degree burns on his face and hands and was taken by ground ambulance to Parkland. Fire investigators are trying to determine a cause of the blaze and a damage estimate.
