Fire Sends 2 Teens to Dallas Hospital

Two teen-agers were taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas for treatment of burns after a fire at a house near Saginaw late Sunday afternoon.

The youths, ages 17 and 18, suffered burns to their arms and legs in the fire that erupted from a can of gasoline at the rear of the house on Old Decatur Road, said Battalion Chief Wendell Lancaster of the Fort Worth Fire Department.

The fire's cause was under investigation, he said. The injured teens, whose names and conditions were unavailable Sunday, were taken by CareFlite helicopter ambulance to the hospital, Lancaster said.
