Two rescued from Northeast D.C. house fire

Two people were rescued from a Northeast D.C. fire and taken to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries, officials said.

The fire occurred Sunday afternoon on the second floor of a two-story, single-family home in the 100 block of 50th Street NE. D.C. Fire and EMS personnel pulled a 70-year-old woman and a 51-year-old man from the home and then took them to hospitals, fire spokesman Lon Walls said.
