Firefighters on the second floor were met by a sudden burst of heat and flames, fueled by wind gusts of up to 25 miles per hour, the release states. A mayday was called, followed by a second alarm.<\/p>\n

A fire crew with special training in rescuing firefighters from burning buildings was nearby and responded to the scene<\/a>, officials told Star-Telegram media partner WFAA-TV . They were able to get the injured firefighters out in less than 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Three adults were displaced by the fire, according to the release. The American Red Cross <\/a>will assist them with their immediate needs.<\/p>\n

The injured firefighters were transported to local hospitals in stable condition, officials said. The cause of the fire is under investigation.<\/p>\n
