Two people died Monday morning after a two-alarm fire in Pittsburgh’s Beltzhoover neighborhood.
Firefighters responded to a residential fire around 5:40 a.m. in the 400 block of Cedarhurst Street, Pittsburgh Public Safety said.
The first crews arrived within four minutes to find “an active fire with possible entrapment,” officials said.
Officials said firefighters entered the residence and found two people on the second floor. Officials said one person was pronounced dead at the scene, while a second was taken to an area hospital in critical condition and later died.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office later identified the victims as Charmaine Anderson, 74, and Larry Anderson, 76, both of Pittsburgh.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire.
