The fire broke out yesterday morning at the home on the Gort Road in Corofin.
Reports this morning say that brothers Patrick and Thomas Brosnan went into the house and rescued their 86-year-old father William, who was trapped inside the house at the time.
William and Patrick were both later hospitalised, while the house sustained heavy smoke damage.
