Two people were rescued from the third floor of an apartment building that caught fire early Tuesday morning in Worcester and were taken to a hospital for treatment, according to multiple reports.
A third person was also brought to the hospital, but it was not clear if they were also a resident.
The fire on Outlook Drive broke out around 2:30 a.m., and video of the fire provided to NBC10 Boston shows heavy flames shooting out of the top of the building. The two people were trapped inside a third floor apartment where the fire is believed to have started, Worcester Fire Chief Martin Dwyer told the station.
The Worcester Fire Department could not be reached by MassLive Tuesday morning.
The pair rescued from the apartment building were taken to UMass Memorial Medical Center along with a third person, according to WCVB-TV. The extent of their injuries was unknown as of Tuesday morning.
The fire extended into three buildings, Dwyer told NBC10 Boston.
Tuesday morning’s fire on Outlook Drive came less than a week after a fatal fire in the city on Hancock Street that left two people dead.
