WASHINGTON — DC firefighters responded to two separate apartment fires that displaced four people on Saturday.
The more severe of the two fires was in Southeast D.C. inside a brick building on the 1400 block of Congress Place Southeast, where the attic of a two-story building caught fire. 60 firefighters arrived to contain the flames at around 6 a.m.
The Red Cross was called for the three people who were displaced by the fire.
"It took approximately 15 minutes to contain the fire," D.C. Fire said on Saturday. "There were no injuries."
In the afternoon, in Northeast, firefighters used a ladder to climb into an apartment unit that was on fire in the 1400 block of G Street.
Nobody was hurt in that fire, D.C. and EMS said at around 3:50 p.m., although one person had been displaced.
