Star Community Newspapers: "An apartment fire at the Tuscany at Wilson Creek Apartments sent one elderly woman to a Dallas hospital Tuesday with second- and third-degree burns over a large portion of her body.
McKinney Assistant Fire Chief Frank Roma said a medical helicopter transported Jean Gibney, 76, of McKinney, early Tuesday morning to Parkland Hospital, where she remained in critical condition.
McKinney fire officials first received notice of the fire at 4:02 a.m., when dispatch received a water flow alarm from the apartment complex located in the 400 block of Wilson Creek Boulevard. The fire started in the bedroom of Gibney's apartment, located on the second story of a three-story building, according to a statement released by city spokesman Steve Hill.
Roma said some unidentified neighbors heard Gibney calling for help, and were able to break down the door and get her out of the apartment just before fire crews arrived. Firefighters found Gibney in the hallway outside her apartment, and called for a medical helicopter landing in an open field across from the complex."
