City rowhouse blaze displaces 2
By Frank Gerace
Wilmington's Fire Marshal is investigating a fire that broke out in a vacant row house Saturday morning and displaced 2 people from an adjacent house.
Firefighters arrived at 413 West 28th Street around 9:45 to find flames coming from 2 front windows on the second floor of the mid-row house.
The fire itself didn't spread, but an adjacent house was damaged by smoke, and 2 elderly people living in that house were relocated by the Red Cross.
One of the displaced people also had to be treated for asthma.
The fire was under control in about 35 minutes
