In Saegerstown today, a man was burned over more than 45% of his body during a fire at the LORD industries plant. The fire was extinguished fairly fast, but not before the man badly burned. 

When paramedics arrived at the scene, they took the man via ambulance to the nearby Meadville Airport. He was then Life-Flighted to the area's closest burn unit.

Officials from the LORD industrial plant told reporters that the cause of the fire will be assessed and explained in a detailed report as soon as possible. Firefighters, however, have confirmed that the fire did indeed begin inside the plant and not on the outskirts, which was first assumed.
