Firefighters are battling a massive four-alarm fire in a condominium building in Honolulu, Hawaii. Two people have reportedly been hospitalized in serious condition.

As of 4:45pm local time (10:45pm Eastern) the flames continued to spread to multiple floors.

More than 60 firefighters have responded to the Marco Polo building, where the fire began on the 26th floor of the 36-floor building around 2:20pm local time, according to HawaiiNewsNow.

“This lady’s voice, I’m not kidding you. I’m trembling. She’s like help me, help me, and I couldn’t see her because the smoke was so dark,” resident Teresa Sommerville told KHON. “All of a sudden the wind shifts and you see this lady is standing inside the lanai. She’s not standing over the edge or anything, and she’s like ‘Help me, help me.’”
