Authorities say the rescued person and at least one other person — who was able to escape from the burning home on their own — were being evaluated for injuries.
“I’m not sure of the extent of their injuries,” said Melissa Taylor, a fire department spokeswoman.
Taylor says the fire’s cause remains under investigation.
