HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. – Community members are rallying to offer prayers, and emotional and financial support for two young men severely injured in a home fire in Hidden Valley Lake this week.

The fire at 18390 North Shore Drive Tuesday destroyed the home and injured resident Jordan Armstrong and his friend, Kevin Hart, according to the “Please PRAY for Jordan Armstrong” Facebook page.

South Lake County Fire Battalion Chief Scott Upton said investigators ruled the fire’s cause “accidental but undetermined.”

Armstrong and Hart both were flown to out-of-county hospitals with serious burns, as Lake County News has reported.

On Thursday, UC Davis Medical Center spokesperson Phyllis Brown said Armstrong was in “fair” condition.

His Facebook page reported that he suffered burns over 30 percent of his body.

Officials originally reported that Hart had been was taken to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital. However, his family said on a Facebook page for him, titled “Kevin’s Blood Drive,” that he also was at the UC Davis Medical Center Burn Center, where he was undergoing skin graft surgeries.

The Facebook page in his honor said he has suffered burns over 80 percent of his body, along with a broken nose and swollen face. He has a tracheotomy to help his breathing.

Hart’s family and friends are requesting community members participate in a blood drive for Hart through Blood Source, 3505 Industrial Drive, Santa Rosa, telephone 916-456-1500, www.bloodsource.org. His blood type is O+ but his family is asking for all blood types to donate.

Both young men are reportedly facing months of hospitalization and numerous reconstructive surgeries, according to the two Facebook pages.

The Hidden Valley Community Church is taking donations for Armstrong. Checks can be sent to the Hidden Valley Community Church, P.O. Box 1049, Middletown, CA 95461, with “Jordan Armstrong” in the subject line. For more information the church can be contacted at 707-987-3510.
