A firefighter and a resident were both taken to a hospital after a fire at a home in Daly City on Tuesday morning, according to the North County Fire Authority.
Firefighters responded at 8:34 a.m. to a fire at a single-family home in the first block of Mateo Avenue and arrived to find smoke coming from the rear of the two-story residence.
When crews entered the home, they found heavy smoke on the first floor and flames coming from a bedroom and were able to extinguish the fire, according to the fire authority.
Fire officials said a resident suffered smoke inhalation and was taken to a hospital, while a firefighter suffered a knee injury and was also transported to the hospital.
Eleven residents in all were displaced by the fire, as well as two cats. The residents are receiving housing assistance via the American Red Cross, fire officials said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the fire authority, which serves the cities of Pacifica and Brisbane along with Daly City.
