Three people were taken to the hospital following an overnight fire at a Waterloo home.
Firefighters said six people were home at 1004 Fulton St. around 11:30 p.m. Saturday when the blaze broke out. All six fled the residence and were outside when fire trucks began pulling up, said Battalion Chief Troy Luck with Waterloo Fire Rescue.“Some cats also did get out of the house. We had an interior working fire, so we had heavy fire inside,” Luck said. He said the initial report was that the fire was in the basement.
Paramedics took three people to the hospital for evaluation, but the injuries don’t appear to be serious, Luck said. The American Red Cross was called to assist the family with emergency shelter.
