A raging house fire in Malden caused two firefighters to be sent to the hospital and nine people to be displaced Monday night.
According to the Malden Fire Department, crews responded to the home on John Street shortly before 9:00 pm for the fire that started on the right side of the home and crept into the attic.
Boston 25 News cameras caught flames leaping from the roof of the three-story building at 9:15 p.m. While the flames were extinguished shortly after, the ceiling was left charred and had a gaping black hole in the front of the building.
The hospitalized firefighters are believed to have minor injuries.
The nine occupants of the house were able to make it out safely and received assistance from the Red Cross.
