A family of four is hospitalized after a house fire in Perry on 1300 block of Jackson Lane.

"It was a fairly chaotic scene on the initial arrival," Assistant Fire Chief Kirk Crumpton said.

Crumpton said he was in the area when he got the emergency call around 1:59 p.m. and was able to arrive at the scene in under two minutes.

He says Smoke was coming from all four sides of the home. Crumpton said the source of the fire was the "back window on the second story of the backside of the house."

He saw two people on the porch, another lying on the ground and one person hunched over the driveway on their hands and knees "with varying degrees of burns or smoke inhalation" when he arrived.

According to the property's landlord and neighbor, Angela Hite, the grandmother, her elderly brother, her son and grandson live at the home.

Crumpton said "a lot of credit" goes to the grandmother who went back into the home to save her family. He said she burned her hair in the process.

"She was able to get everybody out," he said. "She did suffer some injuries during that process, but very proud of her for the way she handled it. And we're very proud of our staff, that they were able to quickly get her to definitive care and take care of her injuries."
