Four people, including a toddler, are in the hospital after a house fire in the Kingsessing section of the city.
It happened Thursday around 2:45 a.m. on the 2100 block of South Alden Street.
Two neighbors rushed to the scene where they found the four people, including a 2-year-old, trapped on the second floor of the home.
“We both got together, I dragged the mattress out of my house,” said David Rose. “The baby jumped first, she grabbed the baby. Then the grownups came. I told them to hang and jump and we’d catch them. And we did.”

The four victims were taken to the hospital after suffering smoke inhalation. No word yet on their condition.
