Firefighters rescued two children and two adults down a ladder raised by the firefighting unit, Stewart continued. Two people were treated at the scene and then hospitalized, Stewart said.
One victim, a 27-year-old woman, was treated for smoke inhalation. The second victim, a 45-year-old woman, was treated for unspecified conditions. The current conditions of both people were unknown.
