A Framingham apartment complex became the scene of an urgent rescue operation Sunday night when a fire broke out, injuring a firefighter and sending two women to the hospital. Firefighters responded to a call at 7:30 p.m. at 33 Interfaith Terrace, where they encountered heavy fire and smoke, as reported by WCVB.
Amidst the thick smoke making their way, the crew pulled two trapped residents to safety from their second-floor apartment—a 49-year-old woman and a 22-year-old woman—according to Framingham Fire Chief Michael Dutcher in a statement obtained by NBC Boston. Both were rushed to MetroWest Medical Center and are reported to be in stable condition.
A firefighter was slightly injured during the rescue and treated at a hospital. Chief Dutcher praised the team’s work in containing the fire to one unit.
Seven apartments were damaged by fire or smoke, and the Red Cross assisted more than 10 displaced residents. NBC Boston reports the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
