Westerly firefighters were able to rescue a 15 month boy from a burning home on Wednesday evening.
One man and two boys who are six and seven years of age were able to get out of the home by escaping through an open window.
However a 15 month old boy was still inside the burning home who was located near a playpen where the fire began.
The firefighters were able to save the boy who was taken to a local hospital with first and second degree burns according to fire chief Shawn Lacey.
The child is expected to live since his injuries are not life threatening.
Investigators are looking for the cause of the fire that destroyed the house.
