(KMZA)--A couple had to use a ladder to escape their burning home early Friday morning in the Pottawatomie County community of St. Mary’s.
Sheriff Greg Riat says emergency responders were called around 5:15 to 510 West Mission Street.
WIBW-TV reports a couple asleep upstairs in the two-story home were awakened by noise and saw fire coming from their 1st floor bathroom and blocking their escape by the stairs.
They called out a window for help and a neighbor brought over a ladder that allowed them to escape.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The St. Mary’s Fire Department was assisted at the scene by the Ross Fire Department, Pottawatomie County EMS and Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Department.
