A man burned himself and his home Sunday night after he passed out from allegedly huffing propane.
The fire occurred about 9:30 p.m. on Cassville Road, with Bartow County Fire Department stations 1, 2 and 12 responding.
According to the Bartow County Sheriffs Office incident report, Battalion Chief Sandy Turner said the fire was suspicious based on a witness statement. The witness said the victim, known only as James, was huffing propane and passed out, leaving the valve on the propane bottle open.
When the victim woke up, he reportedly wanted a cigarette. Lighting the cigarette caused the fire.
The victim was transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital for treatment.
