Firefighters arrived on the scene shortly after 7 p.m. and found the home in flames.
They pulled one person from the back deck of the home and performed CPR on her. She was then rushed to hospital, paramedics said. Another woman took shelter on a balcony until firefighters could get her out of the home.
