Four people were taken to hospitals after a house fire this morning in Northwest Washington, officials said.
Fire and EMS personnel were called to the 1300 block of Locust Road NW shortly after 6:30 a.m. Much of the fire was on the second floor, Batallion Fire Chief Brian K. Lee said.
Firefighters were able to put out the fire and rescue four people trapped inside, Lee said.
The victims — four adults, two of whom are older adults — were taken to various hospitals, Lee said. One was taken to MedStar in serious condition, and two were taken to George Washington University Hospital for possible smoke inhalation.
No firefighters were injured, Lee said, and the cause of the fire is being investigated.
