The fire traveled up through all the floors before being put out.
One male victim was taken to a nearby hospital in good condition. His dog was also rescued.
A witness described what she saw.
"I ran to look out the window; I saw nothing but smoke," Carolyn Jones said. "At that point, I heard a pop, big old pop. When my window popped, I knew I had to get out of there."
The fire's cause was not immediately clear Tuesday morning.
