The Salkum woman who was rescued from her burning home on Saturday remains in critical condition today.<\/p>\n

The 65-year-old, whose name has not been released, was airlifted to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland after the morning fire on the 2100 block of Spencer Road near Forest Retreat Drive.<\/p>\n

The blaze was contained to the room of origin, but the woman who uses a wheelchair only made it to the door before her call to 911 cut off.<\/p>\n

Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Mauermann was the first on the scene, arriving one minute before Lewis County Fire District 8 and pulled her out the door to safety. The sheriff’s office says Mauermann found her tangled in a phone cord which he had to cut.<\/p>\n

Fire Investigator Derrick Paul said she suffered burns, but the smoke inhalation was really the problem.<\/p>\n

The woman uses oxygen, he said. The pump and oxygen tank were near her when she awoke to the fire, but there was no explosion, he said.<\/p>\n

The cause was a cigarette in a trash can, according to Paul.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Steve Mansfield yesterday praised Mauermann saying while its the duty of properly equipped firefighters to do what the deputy did, he is extremely proud of the deputy’s actions.
