— Dan Wing (@dwingReports) January 16, 2019Three people were able to get out of the house on their own, but Bristol Township Fire Marshal Kevin Dippolito said a fourth person didn't want to come out.
"For some reason, he was reluctant to do so. So police department went up, got him, brought him down out of the stairs, away from the building to safety, and handed him over to EMS," he said.
All four people were taken to area hospitals with injuries, suffering from smoke inhalation. One of the victims was transported to the burn unit at Temple University Hospital, however the extent of injury isn't known at this time.
Officials do not know what sparked the fire.
