MILWAUKEE -- Two firefighters are recovering from injuries suffered while battling after an overnight fire in Milwaukee.

Officials say the fire started in an apartment on the second floor.


Heavy smoke could be seen coming from the building when firefighters arrived.


Firefighters rescued one person who was seen standing in a window on the second floor.


A few other occupants made it out on their own, officials said.
