CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say three people were taken to a hospital after a house fire in Cedar Rapids. Firefighters say the front of the two-story house was engulfed in flames when firetrucks arrived early Saturday morning. All six people in the home got out on their own, but three were taken to a hospital. One occupant who leaped from a second-story window had to be helped away from the structure.
No names have been released. The fire cause is being investigated.
