HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Hartford fire officials say firefighters have rescued an 8-year-old girl from a burning three-story apartment building in the city's South End.
Fire department spokesman Lt. Raul Ortiz tells WVIT-TV Friday night that the girl is being treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said the firefighter who rescued her and a police officer outside the home were being treated for smoke inhalation but aren't seriously hurt. No major injuries have been reported.
The fire was reported at about 7:30 p.m. in the building on Hamilton Street near Zion Street. It spread to porches of nearby building but was contained there.
Firefighters were still working at about 9 p.m. to get the primary fire under control.
Smoke was seen for blocks and Hamilton Street was closed near the fire for emergency vehicles.
