JOHNSBURG -- A mother and son suffered minor injuries in a fire that destroyed their Holland Road home early Tuesday, officials said.
Resident Denise Baker and her son, Clifford Baker, 20, were treated at Glens Falls Hospital and released. Denise Baker suffered smoke inhalation and her son suffered minor burns in the 5 a.m. fire that destroyed the home at 44 Holland Road.
Three members of the Baker family were routed from the home and lost all their belongings because of the fire, which was apparently caused by a malfunctioning electric blanket.
"We lost everything," Baker said.
Warren County Fire Coordinator Marvin Lemery said the older-model blanket apparently shorted out, causing burns to Clifford Baker's legs and a fire in his room.
