On Thursday, May 16 at 6:02 p.m., the Hot Springs Fire Department responded to
the report of a fire at a residence located at 116 Chelle Street. Upon arrival,
firefighters noted the structure was engulfed in fire and smoke. They entered
and extinguished the fire within minutes, after which the fire marshal’s
investigation determined the cause to be an accidental cooking
fire.
One male occupant
who had evacuated the structure prior to firefighters’ arrival was taken to
Mercy Hospital for severe smoke inhalation and subsequently airlifted to
Children's Hospital in Little Rock for advanced treatment. One firefighter
sustained minor injuries and was treated and released from the
hospital.
