Resident critically burned in nursing home fire

Update, 4:25 p.m.:

A man in his 60s was transported from the Clinton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on Stuart Lane on Tuesday after he was critically burned in a fire that broke out there, authorities said.

The fire was small and contained to one room, but it did force some evacuations at the facility, said Maj. Tyrone Forby, a spokesman for Prince George's County Fire/EMS. Emergency responders were alerted to the blaze shortly after 3 p.m. and have since extinguished it, he said.

No one else was hurt in the incident, Forby said. He said investigators were on the scene exploring what caused the fire.

Forby said he did not know whether the man's injuries were life-threatening. He said burns of any degree typically are designated as "critical" in patients over 60.
