(Primghar)– Authorities say a resident of a group home for adults near Primghar was burned in an arson fire.
The O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office says a fire in a storage shed near the Pride Group Home was reported early Wednesday. Deputies say a man was found at the scene. The man, who hasn’t been identified, was taken to a local hospital and then flown to a hospital in Minneapolis.
Authorities say the fire started in the middle of the shed, and a liquid accelerant is believed to have started it.
