Memorial Day Fire Results in Minor Injuries

The homeowner of 456 Flanders Rd. suffered minor injuries today — Monday, May 28 — after a fire broke out in the home around 2:35 p.m.

The homeowner was transported to St. Mary's Hospital, according to Woodbury Police Officer Dana Lent.

"Right now, it's being reported as a gas grill fire but the investigation is just beginning," Fire Chief Janet Morgan told Patch on the scene. "It was a great stop. We kept it to just an attic area and a small room upstairs."

The gas grill was on the deck off the back of the house, she said.
