WBRZ - Baton Rouge

Two people escaped a house fire in Baton Rouge after neighbors saw what was going on.

It started just after nine o'clock Friday morning at 8832 Bayside.

Fire fighters say a woman and child were inside when neighbors knocked on the door to alert them.

Investigators say the fire started in the kitchen by a pot left unattended on the stove.

Flames made it into the attic and quickly spread through the house from there.

One person was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation.
