Four injured in Wednesday house fire in Wooster

The cause of a house fire on Bever Street in Wooster Wednesday remains under investigation, but heavy damage was caused to the second and third floors of the home. The fire was reported just after 10 a.m. Wednesday at a house in the 600 block of Bever Street, and four people were injured during the blaze. When firefighters arrived they found smoke and flames coming from the second floor of the multi-story building, and found one person coming out of a third story window. Rescue teams then began searching the house for more residents, and found three people who had suffered smoke related illness, while the person coming from the window did eventually jump and suffered injuries. All four were taken to Wooster Community Hospital for treatment of their injuries.
