At least three people were injured Sunday when an early morning fire broke out at a home in Philadelphia’s East Mount Airy neighborhood.
Firefighters responded to the 1000 block of East Hortter Street around 1:30 a.m. and found flames coming from the basement of a two-story twin home, authorities said.
Medics provided care to at least three people, two of whom were taken to the hospital. An injured woman could be seen on a stretcher and wearing what appeared to be an oxygen mask, though she was able to move and speak to first responders.
In all, authorities said the blaze took a little under an hour to be placed under control, with around 70 firefighters, medics, chiefs and support personnel responding.
