Engine 2, Engine 6, Ladder 3, Rescue 1, Ladder 4, and Battalion 1 and 2 responded to this house fire this morning on Green Circle Drive in Gastonia.

Firefighters arrived on scene with smoke showing, and upon making entry extinguished the fire and were able to rescue two occupants of the home, who were immediately provided emergency medical care, and then transported to Caromont Regional Medical Center with life threatening injuries. The two residents were later air lifted to Wake Forest Baptist Burn Center in Winston Salem. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them at this time.

The Gastonia Fire Marshal’s Office has ruled the fire accidental in nature. Thanks to Gaston Emergency Medical Services and The Gastonia Police Department who also responded.
