Rochelle man injured following a back yard fire

A 70-year old Rochelle man suffered 1st and 2nd degree burns to his left leg yesterday after a fire got out of control in his back yard.

The blaze took place a short time after 11:30 at 1026 Lincoln Highway.

The man had been burning some leaves and sticks in the back yard when he accidently fell into the pile due to a medical problem. A retired Rochelle fireman was driving by the home and saw the smoke and heard the man yelling. He was able to drag him off the burning pile prior to emergency personnel arrived on the scene.

The flames spread to a pile of wood and to the garage at the home. There was damage done to the outside area of the garage along with smoke inside the structure.

The local man was transported by ambulance to Rochelle Community Hospital for treatment of his burns.
