Three construction workers burned after cleaning product caught fire at North Richland Hills house
Three workers were burned in a North Richland Hills house fire Monday morning after a paint thinner caught fire.
Firefighters were called to an one-alarm fire about 10 a.m. Monday at a home in the 8000 block of Arlie Lane near North Tarrant Parkway. Workers were refinishing the floors in the home when the paint thinner caught fire, said North Richland Hills assistant fire chief Kirk Marcum.
The men jumped into the swimming pool on the property to extinguish themselves, fire officials said.
Two of the men were airlifted to Parkland Memorial Hospital with burns covering 80 percent of their bodies, and a third was transported by ambulance. The conditions of the men were unknown.
