KINGSTON — A fire that broke out in a Chester Street home on Saturday afternoon resulted in the three occupants of the home being transported to a local hospital.

Crews from Kingston, Edwardsville, Wilkes-Barre City and Hanover Township responded to 335 Chester St. around 3 p.m. on Saturday for a working structure fire.

The initial reports indicated that children were trapped inside the home. Kingston fire chief Frank Guido confirmed that firefighters were able to rescue two small children, one from the first floor and one from the second floor. The third occupant of the home was able to escape the home on his own.

All three victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment, and Guido said that he didn’t believe that any of the victims sustained injuries that could be life-threatening.

The fire marshal was called to the scene to investigate exactly how the fire started, but Guido said that he didn’t believe the blaze was suspicious.

The damage to the home was substantial, according to Guido, but the property was not a total loss and the damage was considered fixable.
