Two-alarm fire on Beacon Hill sends two to hospital with critical injuries

The Boston Fire Department reports a fire that erupted shortly before 5 a.m. at 51 Phillips St. sent one woman to the hospital with serious injuries from burns and smoke and one man to the hospital with burns and other injuries possibly caused by jumping from the third floor.

The woman was found inside her apartment, the department says, adding one firefighter went to the hospital after getting debris in his eye.

The fire broke out on the second floor of the ten-unit building and left at least 12 people without a home, the department says. Damage is estimated at $250,000.

UPDATE: The Globe interviews a resident of a neighboring building, who rushed in to pound on doors to try to get people up - and out.

Yes, but were any dogs involved? How come the Globe story (for once) doesn't mention any??
