BENTON CO. MAN BURNED IN FIRE: A Decatur, AR family has lost their home and all of their belongings in a fire that left 60-year-old Angel Garcia-Rodriguez with second degree burns. And they could use our help in their long road ahead.
His daughter, Noemi, tells me she woke to the smell of smoke on Friday and discovered flames in the living room. She was eventually able to help get her 6-year-old son and father out of the home. She says the home on Short Cut Road caught on fire while her father was trying to light a fire in the fireplace. Angel underwent a skin graft on Saturday with potentially more procedures to come.
