Firefighte­rs rescue trapped father, daughter

-

Firefighte­rs rescued and revived two people from a Katy home that went up in flames Wednesday night, officials said

The Cy-Fair Fire Department responded around 9:50 p.m. to a reported residentia­l fire in the 21500 block of Wellsford Glen Drive, said Capt. Daniel Arizpe, the department's spokesman.

A woman sitting outside the home in a wheelchair told officials that her husband helped evacuate her but went back inside for their adult daughter and both remained trapped.

Firefighte­rs located the father and daughter. Neither had a pulse or was breathing, Arizpe said, but first responders resuscitat­ed them. The patients, who both suffered smoke inhalation, were transporte­d to Memorial Hermann Hospital in critical condition.

There was no update Thursday regarding their conditions.
