DETROIT (WWJ) -- Three people are hospitalized -- two of those in critical condition -- after an overnight house fire in northwest Detroit trapped a family inside.
A home on Santa Barbara Drive, between Curtis Street and Pickford Avenue, in the Bagley neighborhood went up in flames early Thursday morning.
Three people were trapped upstairs and had to be rescued by the Detroit Fire Department then taken to a local hospital. WWJ is informed that two of the three individuals are listed in critical condition with the third person's condition unknown.
WWJ's reporter Mike Campbell was told by a man sitting in a car nearby that it was his mother, father and sister who were trapped upstairs. A man inside the home, identified as the brother, said this wasn't the first time they've experienced a fire at this home.

The cause is thought by the two men to be from a small electrical problem.
The upstairs suffered considerable smoke, fire and water damage.
