Fire hit a house on Burrows Street early Thursday morning, threatening the building next door.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the outside fire before it reached the interior of the home of the neighboring building.
Three adults and six children made it safely out of the house before firefighters arrived. One adult and two children were taken to the hospital to be assessed for smoke inhalation. The fire burned out the kitchen of the first house.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
