A woman had to be rescued from the roof of a burning Southwest Philadelphia home and two others jumped out of a back window to escape the flames Sunday morning, witnesses and firefighters tell NBC10.
The rowhome along the 5700 block of Gray's Avenue in the Kingsessing section caught fire around 10:30 a.m., fire officials said.
A man and woman jumped from a rear window to safety. A third woman climbed onto the roof of the two story brick-front house. Firefighters used a ladder to get her to safety.
Two of the residents were taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center for smoke inhalation, fire officials said. Their conditions were not immediately known.
The fire was placed under control in about 15 minutes. No word on a cause.
