“A man has died and a woman is critically injured following a Sunday night house fire on Blacksnake Road near Stanley,” a statement from the Gaston County Emergency Management and Fire Services read.

“Firefighters were dispatched at 6:19 p.m. and arrived at 1137 Blacksnake Road at 6:27 p.m. to find a two-story home mostly engulfed, with flames showing through the entire attic. Outside the home were the residents, Dennis Hamlin, 75, and Mary Lou Hamlin, 69, who both suffered catastrophic injuries while escaping the flames. Gaston County Emergency Medical Services (GEMS) transported Dennis and Mary Lou to CaroMont Regional Medical Center,” the statement continued.

“Dennis later died from his injuries at the hospital. Mary Lou was transferred to Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Burn Center in Winston-Salem, where she is actively being treated. Due to the extent of fire and resulting structural collapse, the cause is currently undetermined. However, the investigation is ongoing,” it added.

Nearly a dozen different departments responded to the fire as Stanley does not have fire hydrants, according to local outlet WSOC-TV.

Chief David Toomey of the Lucia Riverbend Fire Department Toomey told WCNC-TV that 40-45 percent of the home was already burning by the time fire crews arrived.
