Two first responders pulled a bedridden woman out of a burning home in Carter County.
The fire occurred Wednesday morning at approximately 11:00 in the 1100 block of Kristy Drive in Grayson, according to the Grayson Fire Department. A paramedic and Grayson police officer arrived on the scene and entered the burning home after they learned a bedridden woman in her 60s lived at the residence, WSAZ.com reports.
Upon entering the structure, the two first responders found the woman on her bed and no one else in the home. They then pulled the woman out of the residence on her mattress.
“The entrapped individual was successfully located and extricated from the structure and transferred to awaiting EMS personnel for medical care,” Grayson FD said in a social media post.
The woman, who was not burned, was treated for smoke inhalation.
The fire began near a kerosene heater.
