"The homeowner was taken to the hospital," Harris said. "Both arms were burned. I took a quick look at him when I got there. It was chaotic."
The home owner is Scott Trammel.
Trammel's next door neighbor called 911 at 8:40 a.m. and when firefighters arrived at the house, it was already engulfed in flames. Two vehicles near the structure also were damaged, Harris said.
The cause of the fire is unknown, fire officials said.
The Blackgum Rural fire Department, a rescue unit from Vian, a firefighter from West Tenkiller and the Oklahoma Forestry Service responded to the fire.
The forestry service was called to help secure the area because the fire was in close proximity to timber and grass, Harris said.
