Two people were hurt in an apartment fire in Kensington, according to NBC10 Philadelphia, though little else about the incident has been made public. The injuries were confirmed as fire crews responded to the blaze, which struck a residential building in the Philadelphia neighborhood.
The news first surfaced in a report from NBC10 Philadelphia, which cited officials in confirming that two people suffered injuries in the fire. The outlet's report, published Thursday, identified the injured people as a man and a woman.
What Remains Unknown
Beyond confirming that two people were hurt, the station reported that the injured people were a man and a woman, both in stable condition, and provided an approximate location and time. First responders took them to a hospital, and firefighters had the incident under control by about 1:22 a.m. The exact address of the building and what may have sparked the fire have not been disclosed. It is also unclear whether residents were evacuated.
No additional statements from fire officials or other agencies have been released to fill in those gaps. As is often the case in the immediate aftermath of a breaking incident, the full picture of what happened inside the Kensington building is still coming into focus, and Hoodline will provide updates if more information becomes available.
