Five people were injured on Thursday after a fire swept through the upper floors of a Norfolk condominium complex, forcing some residents to jump from the upper floors, officials said.
Residents were seen jumping from second- and third-floor windows at Lafayette Cove Condominiums, and Assistant Fire Chief Garry Windley says two of the five people who were hurt jumped from the top floor because exits were blocked by the fire, news outlets reported.
Windley said the five were taken to the hospital, while three others were examined at the scene and released. The fire was under control by 5:10 a.m. after about 50 firefighters went to the scene, Windley added.
