citations - Quote a sentence with references



I'm currently writing my bachelor's thesis and I'm using the IEEE citations. Now lets say I want to directly quote the following sentence:



The barn was on fire1 so I ran away.



with something like this in the footnote:



1) Some Research Study, 2011



How would I cite this directly? The source I'm using doesn't provide any more information than the name of the Research Study.


My guess was:




"The barn was on fire (Some Research Study, 2011) so I ran away." [13]





Thanks in advance,


Mike
