A man was rushed to the hospital late Monday night after a fire broke out in a home in Middleboro, officials said.
Crews responding to a reported structure fire on Locust Street around 9 p.m. found heavy fire on the entire first floor of a single-family home that was spreading to the second floor, according to Middleboro fire officials.
When neighbors alerted firefighters that someone was still inside, a crew entered through the back of the house and got him out. The 67-year-old was taken to Rhode Island Hospital with life-threatening injuries including burns and smoke inhalation.
One firefighter suffered a minor injury and was treated on scene.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
