THAT BREAKING NEWS. A MASSIVE RESPONSE TO A FIRE IN NEWPORT. THANKS FOR JOINING US HERE AT 7:00. I\u2019M CHRIS JACOBS AND I\u2019M ASHLEY KIRKLEN THIS ALL TAKING PLACE ON MONMOUTH STREET IN WLWT NEWS 5 DAISY KERSHAW IS LIVE AT THE SCENE WITH THE VERY LATEST DETAILS. HI, DAISY. ASHLEY. CHRIS. JUST MOMENTS AGO I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH NEWPORT\u2019S FIRE CHIEF. HE TELLS ME THAT TWO PEOPLE WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER BEING RESCUED FROM THIS FIRE. HE SAYS THAT THERE WERE THREE PEOPLE IN THE HOME WHEN THIS ALL STARTED. I\u2019M GOING TO STEP OUT HERE SO YOU CAN SEE STILL A VERY ACTIVE SCENE. THE FIRE APPEARS TO BE COMPLETELY CONTAINED AT THIS POINT, BUT I WAS SPEAKING WITH NEIGHBORS EARLIER WHO DESCRIBED SEEING MASSIVE PLUMES OF SMOKE, FLAMES ALL COMING FROM THIS HOUSE. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE HERE RIGHT NOW. THEY CAN\u2019T GIVE US ANY UPDATE ON THE EXTENT OF THE INJURIES THAT THE TWO PEOPLE RESCUED FROM THE HOME ARE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW. AGAIN, JUST KNOW THAT THEY ARE BEING TREATED AT A NEARBY HOSPITAL. FIRE OFFICIALS SAY THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE MORE INFORMATION, INCLUDING THE CAUSE, LATER ON, BUT THIS IS STILL EARLY ON. FIRE CREWS ARRIVED HERE AROUND 5:29 P.M. TONIGHT, AND THEY\u2019RE STILL NOW JUST WORKING, TRYING TO GET A LOOK AT THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE INSIDE. HERE YOU CAN HEAR A NEIGHBOR DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT HE SAW AS THIS WAS UNFOLDING. I\u2019M JUST HAVING LIKE, OH MY GOD, I HOPE EVERYBODY\u2019S OKAY, I HOPE NOTHING\u2019S, YOU KNOW, DAMAGE OR EVEN SPREADING THE FIRE. BUT THEN KNOWING THAT THE KIDS WERE STILL IN THE HOUSE KIND OF REALLY TAKES YOU TO THE HEART. AND AGAIN, WE DON\u2019T KNOW EXACTLY HOW OLD THE PEOPLE RESCUED FROM THE HOME ARE AT THIS TIME. WE\u2019RE WORKING TO LEARN MORE. AND WE WILL, OF COURSE, BRING YOU THOSE DETAILS AS SOON AS WE HAVE THEM. WE WERE TOLD BY NEWPORT\u2019S FIRE CHIEF THAT THEY\u2019RE GOING TO BE HERE WORKING ON SCENE ACTIVELY FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS. WE KNOW THAT A BIG PORTION OF MONMOUTH IS STILL BLOCKED OFF BY POLICE AS THEY HANDLE THIS. AGAIN, WE\u2019\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Officials: 2 hospitalized after massive house fire in Newport<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768857913_935_wlwt.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WLWT logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 7:30 PM EDT Apr 28, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wlwt.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTwo people were rushed to the hospital after a fire broke out at a house in Newport on Tuesday night.Firefighters were called to 15th Street, near Monmouth Street, around 5:29 p.m., with a second alarm called for.
