SUNNYVALE — Two people were taken to the hospital and as many as 50 residents were displaced by a fire that broke out at an apartment complex Friday afternoon, according to the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety.

The blaze was reported about 1:05 p.m. at the Twin Pines Manor Apartments at the corner of Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road and Crescent Avenue. Sunnyvale DPS Capt. Shawn Ahearn said responding firefighters performed “numerous rescues and evacuations.”

Two people were taken to the hospital with burn and smoke-inhalation injuries, respectively, Ahearn said. The severity of those injuries was not immediately clear. No firefighters were injured.

Northbound lanes of Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road were closed between Fremont and Remington avenues to provide access to emergency vehicles. Firefighters put out the fire around 3:20 p.m.

Ahearn said the complex was declared uninhabitable by the fire marshal, displacing between 30 and 50 people. The Red Cross has been called to help them with temporary housing.

No other properties were affected. A cause for or origin of the fire is under investigation.
