CARMEL — Two people living inside of a home and a police officer were all taken to the hospital after a fire in Carmel early Monday morning.

Firefighters were called to the home in the 4900 block of Jennings Drive around 4:30 a.m.

The Carmel Fire Department says two people inside the home, a mother and a son, escaped the fire and were taken to the hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries. A Carmel Police Department officer was also taken to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation, but is expected to be okay.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
