The son of well-known Akron volunteer Mary Ann Jackson lost his house in a fire early Sunday, but he and the rest of his family escaped.
Their Granger Township residence on Lang Farm Drive, just north of state Route 18 and just east of state Route 94, was only 2 years old. A fire alarm alerted the family to the blaze at 5:45 a.m.
Keith Jackson, his wife, Barbara, and their two young children made it out not long before the doors to the house became inaccessible.
Fire departments from Bath, Hinckley, Sharon and Granger townships responded. Granger spent 10 hours on the scene in 20-degree weather.
Keith Jackson, who initially tried to fight the fire with a home extinguisher, suffered from smoke inhalation and was taken to the hospital, where he was treated and released. A firefighter also received a minor injury.
The cause has not been determined.
Granger Fire Chief John Hadam called the house a ''total loss.'' His department does not yet have a damage estimate, but the Medina County Auditor valued the property at $305,460.
''When we got there, half the house was totally involved,'' Hadam said. ''The biggest problem was everything was collapsed on itself and we couldn't send anybody in.''
The family has moved in with Mary Ann Jackson and her husband, Tom. Mary Ann Jackson said friends have already donated a large amount of food and baby clothes.
