Two-Alarm Fire Friday Night Sends 2 to Hospital in Arlington: Report

Two people were sent to the hospital Friday night from a fire that broke out in a town home in South Arlington, according to WJLA.

Arlington firefighters were called to the fire Friday night at about 7 p.m., for a townhouse fire near Shirlington Village, according to several reports.

The two people who were injured reportedly suffered non-life threatening injuries and were sent to Inova Alexandria Hospital, according to the WJLA report.

Firefighters responded to the fire in the 2800 block of S. Wakefield Street. The town home is located near the intersection of S. Walter Reed Drive and S. Arlington Mill Drive, near Shirlington Village.

Photos posted to Twitter showed large plumes of smoke that could be seen from some distance.

Firefighters battled two other residential fires this week including one Thursday morning when a man later died from smoke inhalation (see links below to stories).
