(WPXI) – Two people were hurt, including a child, in a fire at a New Castle apartment complex Saturday evening.  Firefighters were called to the building on Pin Oak Drive shortly after 9 p.m. on Saturday.  New Castle Fire Chief Mike Kobbe tells Channel 11 that when firefighters got on scene, all residents of the eight-unit building had escaped.  Two people were hurt in the fire — an adult woman and a child. The woman suffered smoke inhalation, and the child was flown to a hospital with serious burns.  Kobbe says the fire appears to have started in a bedroom. The fire marshal is investigating the cause of the fire.  Most of the units in the building sustained smoke and water damage.
