Three Cambridge, MA, firefighters were taken to the hospital after suffering injuries during a three-alarm residential blaze early Wednesday.

Three Cambridge firefighters and a woman living in the building that caught fire were hospitalized Wednesday morning after a three-alarm blaze on Buckingham Street, Fire Chief Gerard Mahoney told reporters.

Firefighters responded to a structure fire at 5:22 a.m. on Buckingham Street in Cambridge, the department said. By 6 a.m. the blaze grew to a three-alarm fire.

While battling the fire, crews found a woman in her 60s or 70s on the second floor suffering from cardiac arrest, according to WCVB.

The woman along with the three firefighters were taken to the hospital. Their injuries, according to Boston 25, do not appear to be life-threatening.
