Four people were injured in a house fire Sunday night in Canton.

News Channel 5 reports the fire started on the front porch and quickly spread throughout the entire home on 4th Street NW.

Two victims, a man and woman, were flown to the Akron Children's Hospital burn unit with serious injuries and two others were taken to a Aultman Hospital with injuries.

Fire officials told News Channel 5 that one man was rescued from the roof of the garage and a woman was given CPR after she was found unresponsive in a bedroom.

Several animals died in the fire, but crews rescued about 25 rabbits. They appeared to be taken care of and kept in separate cages.

The Stark County Humane Society took possession of the animals.

Two firefighters suffered injuries, but the Canton Repository reports the extent of their injuries were not described.
