(KNZA)--An elderly Netawaka woman was airlifted to a Kansas City hospital after she was badly burned Friday morning at her home.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says the Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from 622 Commercial Street shortly after 7:40.
Morse says the 75-year-old victim’s clothing apparently caught fire from open flames on a cooking stove, which was being used to heat the residence.
The woman, whose name was not released, was flown to the University of Kansas Hospital by Life Star Ambulance.
The house was not damaged.
The Netawaka and Whiting Fire Departments responded to the scene as well as Jackson County EMS and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.
