Two people, including a 9-year-old boy, died in a fire at the illegal rental on Kennedy Street NW.

A police officer’s report about illegal conditions in the Brightwood rowhouse was mishandled by other city agencies.

“Every second makes a difference when you’re trapped in a building and you can’t get out. Seconds count, and in that instance it took minutes to dispatch the call.”

Mayor Muriel Bowser has retained outside firm Alvarez and Marsal to conduct an investigation of the city’s handling of the situation across each involved agency.

Yafety Solomon was a student at Barnard for nearly his entire life, per the GoFundMe page set up to raise funds.

The two deaths appear to be unrelated.

Kylie is a six-year-old cadaver dog with D.C . Fire and EMS.

One allegedly yelled “I’m an EMT that works with y’all and I hope that y’all take a bullet to the head because I’m not going to revive you!”

D.C. Fire says the blaze was caused by illegal fireworks.

An elderly man was found trapped five days after the blaze.
