(KAIR)--Hospital treatment is required following a fire that destroyed a Jackson County residence.

Sheriff Tim Morse says it happened Monday morning, shortly before 9:15, at 3214 K-16, south of Soldier.

The lone occupant of the home was transported to a Topeka hospital for the treatment of what Morse calls life threatening injuries.  The name of the individual has not been released.

The Soldier, Holton, Hoyt, Mayetta, Havensville, and Potawatomi Tribal Fire Departments all responded to the scene, where the Jackson County and Pottawatomie County EMS assisted.

Morse says his office is working with the Kansas State Fire Marshal's Office in the investigation of what caused the blaze.
