(FOX40.COM) \u2014 An adult and a 2-year-old child were injured after a house caught fire Wednesday morning in Sacramento, the Sacramento Fire Department said. Civilians rescued them before first responders arrived.<\/p>\n
Fire crews were dispatched around 11:15 a.m. to property on the 2500 block of Grove Avenue after receiving reports of a bedroom fire at a residence. Two people were reportedly trapped inside.<\/p>\n
Before firefighters arrived, some Good Samaritans rushed inside and pulled out a man and a 2-year-old child. The man was unresponsive, but crews immediately started CPR and advance life support measures, the first department said.<\/p>\n
He regained consciousness and was talking by the time he was loaded into an ambulance. The man was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and was in stable condition. The 2-year-old only suffered minor inhalation, the fire department said.<\/p>\n
The fire department does not recommended people run into burning buildings, but in this case, it appears to have made a life saving difference. The fire was contained and did not spread throughout the house. The fire\u2019s cause is under investigation.<\/p>\n
