LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Firefighters battled a house fire Monday evening along County Road 15 that sent a woman to a hospital, emergency workers said.

Crews on the scene said the injured person was Krista Pennick who lived in the house. Reports say she is in critical conditon at a Huntington Hospital

Pennick's infant daughter had been reported missing earlier, but later was reported to be safe with her grandparents. Pennick's husband also was feared missing initially, but is said to be safe in Texas.

The home was destroyed, according to firefighters. Investigators say the cause remains undetermined at this time. The State Fire Marshal's Office says they still need to speak to Pennick once her condition improves.

As many as five fire departments were at the scene.

just cause there are to fires in the same area does not mean their is someone setting the fires or it was a meth fire. The only thing that matters if every one is safe and no one died in the fire and if you are going to thank someone thank the firemen cause they but their lives on the line and stopping their lives with their family's or what every they are diong to came and help you every time you call to save you in your time of need and do this for free in this area and dont ask for nothing in return for it just maybe help with a fund raiser every now and them so that we can buy the Equipment needed to keep them safe and able to help you every time you call
