Investigators in Frisco said a cooking accident started a house fire that burned two men on Saturday afternoon.

The city of Frisco said the fire broke out at a duplex in the 9800 block of Camfield Avenue. Firefighters were called the house around 12:39 p.m.

Ambulances transported two men to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, where they were treated for burns. The names of the victims have not been released.
