Responders rescue 2 babies from 3rd floor in Hazleton fire

HAZLETON, Pa. (AP) — Police officers and firefighters responding to a fire in downtown Hazleton rescued two babies from a third-floor window, carrying them down a ladder to safety.

The Standard-Speaker of Hazleton says the blaze started late Friday morning at Prestigio Restaurant.

The paper says one man lowered himself from a second-story window as smoke billowed from a kitchen vent.

Another man was wearing only a towel when he escaped.

No injuries were reported.
