Authorities said a neighbor was able to save a child from a burning home in Richmond County, but a man in the house died in the blaze.
The Augusta Chronicle reported that two children ages 7 and 9 awoke early Monday morning when a fire alarm went off at the home on Meadowgrove Drive.
The children ran to the home of a neighbor, Felande Ross, who broke out a window and brought out a 4-year-old girl who was still inside the burning structure, authorities said. The 4-year-old was taken to Medical College of Georgia Hospital.
When firefighters arrived, they discovered the body of an unidentified man in the kitchen.
Richmond County Deputy Coroner Johnny McDonald said the fire appeared to have originated from a stove in the kitchen.
