According to the Madison Police Department, officers responded about 1 a.m. Sunday to a building where a staircase was engulfed in flames.
A child inside of the upstairs apartment began breaking out windows, and police officers and detectives "were able to catch each child as they jumped from the windows," according to a news release.
A woman also leapt from the second-floor window and was caught by officers.
Police entered the ground-level apartment units to ensure no one else was trapped inside, officials said.
