Police are reporting several injuries at a house fire on Long Island.

Nassau County police say the fire was reported at 5 a.m. Tuesday at 98 Woods Ave. in Rockville Centre and started in the living room.

Over 60 fire personnel responded to the fire.

Two people were able to escape the fire on their own.

A 13-year-old female was rescued from the second floor by firefighters.

Three officers tried to enter the house through the front door, but could not because of heavy smoke.

They climbed a ladder to the second floor and pushed an air conditioner into a room where they rescued a 9-year-old boy.

Firefighters found a female, 59, in a bedroom and taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries.

The other four victims were treated and released.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
