A house fire in Youngstown sent two people, including a firefighter, to the hospital.
The fire started just after 1:30 a.m. Wednesday at an occupied home on West Marion Avenue.
Original reports said the home was vacant but emergency crews found that the fire began at an occupied home and spread to a vacant house next door.
A female victim was in the home at the time and broke through a second-story window to escape the blaze.
The victim was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation and a Youngstown firefighter was also transported after being loaded on a stretcher.
There's no word as of this writing on his condition.
Investigators are still working to figure out the cause of the fire.
