CLEVELAND — One man was killed and a woman was seriously injured during a house fire in Cleveland on Sunday afternoon, according to a news release from Lt. Michael Norman of the Cleveland Fire Department.
Firefighters responded to the 3200 block of Woodbridge Avenue around 3:50 p.m., the release said. The fire took place in the back of a home on the first and second floors.
Neighbors called the fire department after hearing cries for help from inside the home. The man tried to put out the fire himself, Norman said.
