Investigators believe the fire started in the basement.
"Pretty tough conditions, zero visibility with a lot of heat," explained Newton Fire Chief Greg Gentile. "But they were able to make a pretty aggressive and quick rescue."
Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire, but it is not believed to be suspicious.
