LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln woman pulled from her burning home by a neighbor earlier this month has died from her injuries.
24-year-old Blair Callahan died around 8:30 a.m. Thursday at a local hospital, where she was taken with burns and injuries from smoke inhalation Jan. 8.
Callahan’s neighbor, Will Curtis Jr., was on his way home from work when he saw smoke coming from her home around 2:30 a.m. that morning.
Lincoln Fire Investigator Ken Hilger says Curtis forced his way into the house and found Callahan lying on the kitchen floor. He carried her out before an ambulance took her to the hospital.
Roughly $100,000 worth of damage was caused to the house and its contents. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
