A man who was trapped inside the building called for help using his cell phone.
Crews from several departments responded to the fire and were able to rescue the man. He suffered from smoke inhalation.
One firefighter suffered smoke inhalation while rescuing the man. Another injured his ankle, and a third was treated for a laceration on his hand.
