Three injured in Providence fire

PROVIDENCE -- Three people were injured in a fire early this morning on Detroit Avenue, according to the Providence Fire Department.

Two occupants of the three-story, wood-frame house at 59 Detroit Ave. suffered smoke inhalation, according to James Taylor, chief of communications for the Providence Fire Department.

A firefighter was injured slipping on the ice, Taylor said.

They were all taken to the hospital with what Taylor described as minor injuries.

The fire, reported shortly before 1 a.m., caused extensive damage to the second and third floors, Taylor said. Firefighters brought it under control by 1:41 a.m.

The cause is under investigation.
