2 rescued, hospitalized after house fire on Sherman Street
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC)— Rochester fire crews say two people were taken to the hospital after a Wednesday morning fire at a three-family home.
Crews went to the scene on Sherman Street near Woodrow Street just after 6:30 a.m. The call came in from neighbors who believed people may have been trapped inside.
Rochester Fire Department Deputy Chief Jim Ryan told News10NBC crews saw smoke pouring from a first-floor apartment and found a room near the back had caught fire.
Ryan said two people, including a woman in a wheelchair, had to be helped out of the home. They were taken to Strong Memorial Hospital to be treated for minor smoke inhalation. Two other people in a different unit of the home were able to make it out safely. A third unit was vacant at the time.
