DETROIT (AP) - Five children have been injured in a house fire in northwest Detroit.

Deputy fire commissioner Dave Fornell says the children — ages 4 months to 4 years old — were taken to a hospital Thursday morning. The children suffered from smoke inhalation. Their conditions were not immediately available.

A firefighter also suffered an injury while trying to enter the home. His injury was not considered life-threatening.



The fire was reported about 9:20 a.m. and is under investigation. Police said adults inside the home put the blaze out before firefighters arrived.
