8 hospitalized after firefighters battle massive house fire in Langhorne, Pa.

Eight people were hospitalized after firefighters battled a massive house fire in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, early Saturday morning. 

The three-alarm fire started at a duplex home along the 100 block of West Richardson Avenue around 5 a.m. Langhorne Middletown Fire Company Chief Frank Farry said firefighters arrived within minutes and rescued at least one person who was trapped inside the home. 

Chief Farry told NBC10 that person was unconscious on the second floor and was pulled out of the window by a firefighter. 

A total of eight people who were inside the home were hospitalized. Officials have not yet revealed their conditions. Chief Farry told NBC10 at least two of the victims suffered serious injuries, however.

Two of the residents were air lifted to the hospital while a third was taken by ground transport, officials said.

Two of the eight people are still in the hospital as of Sunday night, according to fire officials.

"The woman that was actually unconscious that was rescued by firefighters out of the back second-story window remains fighting some challenges. We’re hopeful we’re going to get some good results," Chief Farry said.

The firefighters eventually brought the flames under control. Chief Farry said the home’s structure and older condition made it difficult to fight the fire.

"The initial crews took a pretty substantial beating trying to make those rescues," he said. "They did their job and got everybody out."

Officials have not yet revealed the cause of the fire. The Pennsylvania State Police is working with the Middletown Fire and Emergency Services to investigate.

On Sunday, American Legion Post 148 collected donations for the eight people who were hospitalized due to the fire. Seven of them all from one family who lived on one side of the home and the woman still in the hospital lived on the other side.

Turn out from the community was so overwhelming that after several hours they had to stop collecting donations.

Don Minnick is one of the neighbors on the street and a good friend with the man who remains in the hospital. He told NBC10 the man is an air force veteran who ran back into the fire to rescue his daughter and grandson.

“First and foremost: we’re friends, we’re family. We just want him to know we love him. We’re there for him," Minnick said.

While they are no longer accepting clothes donations, people who wish to help can drop off gift cards or money.

“You’re upset. You start crying. What can we do to help? You know? And this is what we can do. Whew. Come together as a community. You know? Restores your faith in humanity," Minnick said.
