UPDATED: 11:07 pm EDT August 29, 2007

BOSTON -- Two Boston firefighters were critically injured Wednesday night in a fire in West Roxbury.

The fire broke out just before 9 p.m. at the Tai Ho restaurant at 1727 Centre St. and quickly went to four alarms.

Five other firefighters suffered less serious injuries.

The firefighters were trapped when an air conditioning unit fell through the roof of the building.

Five firefighters were taken to Brigham and Women's Hospital, one to Faulkner Hospital and another to Beth Israel Deaconess.

Firefighters could be seen administering CPR as one was rushed into a waiting ambulance.

The fire spread to a floral company and a pet grooming business. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino arrived at the fire scene after 10 p.m, but then left to go to one of the hospitals.

NewsCenter 5 and TheBostonChannel.com will have more information as it becomes available.
