SKOWHEGAN, Maine — A mother and her son are in serious condition after a police officer pulled them from their burning mobile home Friday night, according to state fire marshals.
Skowhegan police Officer Timothy Williams entered the burning home at 279 North Ave., found the two in the living room and rescued them shortly after the fire was reported at 8:30 p.m. Williams was treated and released for smoke inhalation, according to Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety.
The two victims, Andrea Curtis, 24, and her 4-year-old son, Tyler Curtis-Benson, are being treated for extensive burns and smoke inhalation. Curtis is being treated at Maine Medical Center in Portland, and her son was brought to the Shriners Hospital in Massachusetts.
A team of fire marshal investigators were working on determining the cause of the fire, McCausland said.
