Authorities have released the name of a man who was severely burned in a Thursday house fire.

Quincy Fire Chief Michael Sherman says 81 year old Lydell Lyons is in critical condition at Bronson Methodist Hospital's burn unit.

Quincy firefighters were called to a home on U.S. 12 in Quincy just after 2 AM Thursday on a report of a house fire. A women who lived in the house called Branch County 911, saying there was a fire and someone inside the residence.

The Quincy Fire Department was assisted in battling the blaze by the Coldwater and Allen Fire Departments. They were able to enter the house and found Lyons on the floor of the living room.

The woman who made the call was treated for smoke inhalation and slight burns.

The cause of the fire is still being investigated, but does not appear to be suspicious in nature.
