The McKinney Fire Department reminded residents to get out and stay out of a house that is on fire after rescuing a woman from the roof of a burning home on Sunday.
After helping her mother escape a burning home on the 6300 block of Avalon Woods Drive early Sunday morning, a resident went back inside the house to get her cell phone. She was unable to exit, according to a McKinney Fire Department press release.
When the department arrived, they found her stranded on the roof and used ladders to bring her down to safety, the press release stated. Two people were treated and then taken to a hospital for burns and smoke inhalation, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
