The Osage Beach Fire Protection District was called to Park Place Condominiums at 5:30. Apparently while cooking, a pan of grease caught fire and the man and woman cooking attempted to carry the burning pan outside and dump it over the balcony. When they dumped the grease, the fire "flashed" or intensified, burning the victims.
The woman suffered second and third degree burns on 25% of her body and was flown by helicopter to University Hospital in Columbia. A Miller County ambulance transported the male victim to Lake Regional Hospital, also for treatment of burns to 25% of his skin.
The Osage Beach Fire Marshal's investigation into the kitchen accident is ongoing. There was no damage to the condo unit.
