A Suffolk child is hospitalized in critical condition as a result of a fire in the early morning hours Saturday.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue and Suffolk Police were notified at 03:40 a.m. Aug. 12 by medical staff at a local hospital that an adult male had arrived there with a child who had sustained injuries consistent with a fire, according to a city news release.

Suffolk Fire Marshal Office launched an investigation of the incident and determined the injury occurred at a residential structure fire in the 5900 Block of Brookwood Drive Saturday. 

Officials said the initial investigation determined a bedroom fire occurred earlier in the morning, causing moderate smoke and fire damage to the bedroom and smoke damage throughout the single story detached residence. 

The fire was extinguished by occupants and then the child was driven to a local hospital by the adult male.  The child was transferred to another local hospital and remains in the hospital in critical condition.

The release said there is no further information available at this time.
