FRAMINGHAM — Fire fighters were trying to rescue two residents trapped on sixth floor balconies after fire broke out at a Framingham apartment building.
The two couldn’t escape through smoke-filled hallways today at the Edgewater 1 apartment building at 14 Temple Street.
At least two residents and a firefighter were taken to the hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation.
The fire broke out at midday, and flames spread to walls high in the multi-story building.
The apartment building has 72 apartments, and is part of the Jefferson Village apartment complex. The Red Cross was on the scene, and residents were being evacuated to a nearby fitness center.
