Man badly burned when girlfriend's house set on fire
The sheriff's office says deputies responding to a domestic disturbance Friday night were told the boyfriend had doused the 23-year-old woman with gasoline, poured gas around the house and fled.
A fire broke out, but the woman, her 5-year-old son, her sister and mother were able to escape.
Deputies say a man was found later at a gas station with severe burns to his hands, arms and legs. He was taken to Legacy Emmanuel Hospital in Portland, where he is listed in critical but stable condition.
The sheriff's office identified him as 23-year-old David Michael Miller, of Vancouver. No charges have been filed in the case.
The girlfriend's father said she had just broken up with Miller. The father said Miller texted the family Friday afternoon, saying he was going to burn the house down.
The father said his daughter did not get burned but did get gasoline in her eyes. The 5-year-old son also got gasoline on him but he is OK, too.
The girlfriend was treated and released at a Vancouver hospital.
