House fire in Northwest kills one, injures another

One man died and his wife was hospitalized Saturday night after a fire broke out in their home on the unit block of Madison Street, Northwest.

According to D.C. Fire Department Spokesman Pete Piringer, the woman went downstairs after the house’s fire alarm went off around 8:15 p.m. to find her husband in the kitchen with his clothes on fire. She beat out the flames then went to a neighbor’s house to call for help.
