PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) -- Members of a local family are being treated for injuries suffered during a fire in their Providence home Sunday night.

Flames broke out just after 10 p.m. on the second floor of a duplex, located at 175 Virginia Ave.

According to fire officials, a total of four people were hospitalized for smoke inhalation and burns. A mother and daughter were transported for observation, while a father and son are being treated for more serious injuries.

The fire appears to have caused little damage to the exterior of the home.

The cause of the flames remains under investigation, and so far no word on the conditions of the victims.
