Three firefighters were injured while battling a fire at a home in New Haven on Saturday night.

Fire crews were called to Sherman Avenue around 11:30 p.m.

When crews arrived, they said they found heavy fire on the first and second floors of a large three-story home.

In a video posted on New Haven Fire's Twitter, flames can be seen going up the side of the home. Live power lines were also in the road, which created a challenge for firefighters.

Three firefighters suffered minor injuries and had to be taken to the hospital, according to fire officials. All three have since been treated and released.

Four adults and two children are currently displaced.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Authorities believe the fire may have started on the front porch of the home.
