74-year-old Nashville man dies after being badly burned when fire spreads from screened-in porch

A 74-year-old Nashville man died after a fire spread from his screened-in porch, which he had lit to warm up. His 71-year-old brother-in-law sustained minor burns and smoke inhalation. Neighbors noted the absence of a nearby fire hydrant, with the closest one over 800 feet away, exceeding standard fire code requirements.
