Two people are in critical condition after a fire at a nursing home in St. Thomas on Saturday night.
The fire broke out in a bedroom at Caressant Care, located on Bonnie Place, at around 10 p.m.
Police say six residents of the nursing home and one firefighter were taken to hospital for treatment.
Two of the elderly residents injured in the fire are in critical condition.
"When we arrived, we had a bedroom fully involved in fire. So we did a rescue in that zone," Fire Prevention Officer Bill Todd said. "There was 41 residents in the two zones within that wing and we had everybody moved out and the fire put out."
At the height of the fire, 36 firefighters were on scene, Todd added.
The Office of the Fire Marshal will be investigating the incident.
The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
