KALAMAZOO (WKZO AM/FM) — A Quincy Township man who was badly burned Thursday morning in a house fire on U.S. 12 just east of Quincy has passed away in Kalamazoo at Bronson Methodist Hospital’s Burn Unit.
81-year-old Lydell G. Lyons died Thursday, but the information immediately released until the notification of family members was completed.
Lyons was flown to the hospital after Quincy firefighters found him near a couch and pulled him from the burning house.
The fire was reported just after 2:00 a.m. Thursday by a woman who lived at the residence.
She was later treated for slight burns and smoke inhalation.
Quincy Fire Chief Michael Sherman says the fire appears to have started in the living room but it was not considered suspicious. Sherman says four dogs also died as a result of the fire.
