HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- Fire officials say an 86-year-old man has been injured in a house fire in Hagerstown. 

Delbert Summerville was listed in critical condition at Meritus Medical Center after Tuesday's fire. 

Firefighters found Summerville in cardiac arrest near a basement door. He suffered from smoke inhalation and first- and second-degree burns. 

Officials say Summerville and his wife saw smoke coming from the basement and he tried to find the cause of the fire. His wife went to a neighbor's house to call 911. 

Authorities say about half of the basement and half of the first floor of the house were destroyed. Damage was estimated at $40,000. 

Officials say the fire started in a workshop area of the basement.
