Two residents and a firefighter were injured after a fire broke out at a Norwich home Monday night.
Norwich firefighters said they were called to a home on McKinley Avenue at about 6 p.m.
Responding crews said the blaze could be seen coming from the back of the second floor. Crews worked to open interior walls and ceilings to find hidden pockets of fire and extinguish, they said.
The fire was placed under control after about 30 minutes once firefighters got to the scene. People living in the home were able to self evacuate, according to authorities.
