Dallas Man Burned in Fire

DALLAS — A man was hospitalized with serious burns early Sunday after fire broke out in a vintage South Dallas residence.

The one-alarm blaze was reported around 5 a.m. in the 1400 block of Rowan Avenue, near Fair Park.

The unnamed victim, 50, suffered third-degree burns to the face, arms and legs, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans. He was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital in very serious condition.

Evans said the fire was sparked by an unattended candle in the bedroom of the 994-square-foot home, which dates back to 1920 according to tax records.
