The owner of the home, a 61-year-old man who was alone in the house at the time of the fire, was taken to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo with what Springfield public safety officers called life-threatening injuries.
Springfield was assisted by the Michigan Air National Guard Fire Department and Bedford Township Fire Department.
