BRIMFIELD, Ind. (WOWO): A woman was hospitalized after a fire that took Noble County firefighters several hours to put out.

The Noble County Sheriff’s Department tells WOWO News first responders got multiple 911 calls at around 4pm Monday to a home in the 7000 block of North Main Street in Brimfield. By the time they arrived the house was fully engulfed in flames. A woman who had managed to escape the home was taken to a nearby hospital with burn injuries.

The single-digit temperatures caused to be a problem, as their equipment began to freeze while they were fighting the blaze, which is under investigation by the Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office.
