SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — A call went out around 2:30 a.m. this morning for a fire on Burdick Ave., in Syracuse, right off of Turtle St.

At the scene, crews heard that two people might be trapped inside.

Firefighters quickly found the first man. NewsChannel 9 is told he was an adult, who was taken outside and given immediate care.

Crews then went back in the house to try and find the second person. Once found, that person had to be taken out through a window on the second floor.
