Two people were hospitalized after an early morning fire on Thursday in Harpswell.

The fire at a single-family home at 23 Smokehouse Road was reported at about 4:25 a.m.

Four people were in the house at the time, the state fire marshal’s office said on Thursday.

Two escaped uninjured. The other two were taken to a Portland hospital for injuries they sustained while trying to get out of the house to escape the fire, the office said. Their injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Two dogs also made it out of the house uninjured, the office said.

Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.
