Two firefighters were injured and a cat was killed in a fire that significantly damaged a two-family home in Danvers on Sunday night, authorities said.

One firefighter went to North Shore Medical Center for smoke inhalation, and the second fell down a flight of stairs but did not require treatment, officials said. None of the eight residents were injured.

The two-alarm fire, which started in a second-floor bedroom about 5:50 p.m. destroyed the second floor at 11 Park St., firefighters said. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
