The four-alarm blaze broke out on the second floor of the 2½-story wood-frame home next to the St. Nicholas church and school on President Street shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday, March 22, responders said.
Power lines came down on one of the responding fire trucks, prompting an urgent request for a PSE&G crew, they said.
The injuries to the two firefighters weren't considered life-threatening, according to responders at the scene. One involved a knee injury, they said.
Firefighters were pulled from the building less than a half-hour after they arrived as flames shot out of the eaves.
They continued to battle the blaze from the exterior.
