Two residents and two police officers who helped rescue them were injured in a serious house fire in Attleboro, Massachusetts, on Sunday morning.

The Attleboro Fire Department says they responded to 563 Mendon Road at approximately 9:13 a.m. for a reported fire. Shortly before their arrival, two Attleboro police officers who were in the area entered the burning home and pulled the two occupants out.

Both occupants and both officers were treated at the scene by EMS. The male occupant and the officers were taken to Sturdy Memorial Hospital for smoke inhalation.

The second occupant, a woman in her 40s, suffered severe burns, fire officials said, and was taken to Rhode Island Hospital with serious injuries.

Firefighters were able to contain the fire to two rooms in the home and one side of the duplex before extinguishing the fire, which caused an estimated $100,000 in damage.

The occupants of the other unit of the duplex were home at the time and were temporarily evacuated. However, their home was not damaged and they were allowed to return later Sunday morning, the fire department said.

The origin and cause of the fire are being investigated.
