Two prison guards were rushed from a Montgomery County prison after a fire broke out inside a cell Wednesday morning.
Medics could be seen putting a guard into an ambulance outside Graterford State Correctional Institution around 7 a.m.
As SkyForce10 hovered over the prison, located in the Collegeville area, a guard could be seen being loaded into an ambulance and rushed from the scene.
Prison officials said two correctional officers suffered smoke inhalation. Both were treated and released, according to prison assistant superintendent Kerry Kirschner.
Corrections staff, who are trained to extinguish fires quickly, put out the blaze, which was contained to the single cell, Kirschner said.
No inmates were injured.
Soon after the fire, the prison returned to normal operations.
