Three people were injured during a fire Wednesday night at a property in Southwest Philadelphia, according to officials. 

Firefighters were called to a three-story home on the 1100 block of South 52nd Street just before 5 p.m. and found a heavy fire on the first floor.

The fire struck a second alarm shortly after firefighters responded, according to the Philadelphia Fire Department. 

The department tweeted around 5:30 p.m. that the blaze was placed under control. 

Two men, 69 and 54, and a 30-year-old woman were transported to a local hospital, officials said. Their conditions are not known at this time. 

Investigators have not said what sparked the inferno.
