A Clearwater single-family home went up in flames early Tuesday morning, Clearwater Fire & Rescue said.
Clearwater Fire & Rescue said crews were first dispatched to the home on the 1400 block of Franklin Street around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. When they arrived, they found smoke and flames coming out of the house.
The fire threatened nearby homes, and firefighters called in a second alarm to prevent neighboring residences from catching fire. Clearwater Fire & Rescue said the fire was extinguished before spreading.
Two people inside the house that went up in flames were treated and taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.
There are some truly inspiring people who call the Tampa Bay area home. People who overcome odds that others could not even imagine. Tampa Bay 28 anchor Lauren St. Germain met a woman who is doing just that, as she competes at an international level after 2 life-saving lung transplants.
