A pair of NDG residents suffered burns to their legs at a fire that broke out on Prince of Wales Thursday morning at about 3:48 a.m.

The fire began on the second floor of the home at 5139 Prince of Wales and spread to the roof, reportedly causing about $75,000 in damage.

About 25 firefighters battled the blaze and five residents were evacuated.

The flames spread from a neglected candle, according to firefighters.
