Two people died in separate apartment fires in the span of 24 hours in the nation's capital this weekend.
DC Fire and EMS responded to 13th Street NW near Park Road NW just before 10 p.m. Friday night following reports of flames on the second floor of a three-story apartment building. First responders found a man with life-threatening injuries and rushed him to the hospital, where he died Saturday morning.
Firefighters then responded to another blaze at another three-story apartment building on Newton Street near 18th Street NW. Responders found a woman on the first floor who survived, and she also succumbed to her injuries at the hospital on Saturday.
Authorities have not released information about the identities of the two victims. Authorities say the blaze in the woman's apartment engulfed the entire building and displaced five people, according to WTOP.
