Two people were found dead in the aftermath of a vacant rowhouse fire in South Baltimore early Saturday morning, city fire officials said.
It’s unclear what prompted the blaze and whether the people, a male and a female, who appeared to be adults, died because of the fire, said Assistant Fire Chief Roman Clark.
Firefighters responded around 1:30 a.m. to the 1100 block of Sergeant Street to find a heavy fire at a two-story rowhouse, officials said.
Flames were visible on both floors. A video shared on Twitter by the union representing Baltimore firefighters, the IAFF Local 734, showed fire raging from a second story window.
In the meantime, Clark said, fire investigators are looking into the cause of the fire.
No civilians or firefighters were injured during the fire, he said.
