HOMEWOOD (KDKA) -- Two people were taken to the hospital after a house fire in Homewood on Monday.
Firefighters were sent to a home on Rosedale Street between Hill Avenue and Madiera Street just before 3 p.m.
Emergency dispatchers confirm two people have been transported to UPMC Mercy Hospital. One victim, a male, was in critical condition. The other victim, a female, is in stable condition.
"Both of the victims are in their 60s and lived in the house together," said Pittsburgh Police spokesman Chris Togneri.
Firefighters put out the flames in about 15 minutes. The fire appears to have started in a second floor bedroom, according to Togneri. No other homes were damaged.
The male victim later died from his injuries.
UPDATE: We regret to announce that the male senior who firefighters rescued from the Rosedale Street fire last week died this morning from his injuries. The Fire Investigation Unit continues to investigate the cause of the fire. https://t.co/hU0NyMUlHY
