A Roane County man was burned in a fire that destroyed his automotive garage early Monday morning near Spencer on Colt Ridge.
Dave Putnam, 63, is in serious condition at the burn unit of Cabell-Huntington Hospital.
Sources said Putnam was using a small amount of kerosene to start a fire in a wood stove but the container he was carrying was apparently leaking.
The fire quickly expanded, burning him.
Despite his burns, Putnam moved two cars and a riding mower away from the burning garage on Colt Ridge.
