House fire displaces family, sends three to hospital

CHARLOTTE N.C. -- Three people were transported to the hospital this morning after a house caught fire in west Charlotte.

Charlotte Fire Department spokesman Captain Rob Brisley said 27 firefighters responded to a 1-story house fire at 1021 Crestmere St. shortly after 4:00 a.m.  EyeWitness News was on scene this morning as CFD worked to knock down a fire that started in the kitchen. Firefighters had the fire under control in less than 15 minutes.

Three residents from the home were transported to Presbyterian Hospital for treatment of possible smoke inhalation.  

MEDIC personnel said one person has life threatening injuries and two are being treated for potentially life threatening injuries. We do not know the names of the people transported.

The cause of the fire was due to uattended food being left on the stove, according to CFD. "This continues to be the number one cause of residential fires in Charlotte," Captain Brisley said.

Officials estimated the house to have suffered approximately $15,000 worth of fire and smoke damage.

The Red Cross of Charlotte has been contacted and is assisting the family with any emergency assistance or temporary housing they may need.
