Firefighters have controlled a two-alarm residential fire in San Jose this afternoon, a fire department spokeswoman said.
The fire was reported around 11:50 a.m. at a home in the 1100 block of West San Carlos Street, fire Capt. Mary Gutierrez said. It was controlled at about 1 p.m.
Seven people were inside the house when the fire started but all managed to get out, she said.
A man and woman were taken to a hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation, Gutierrez said.
The house sustained extensive smoke and fire damage and is uninhabitable, Gutierrez said. She said the occupants have been displaced, at least temporarily.
The cause is under investigation.
