BOISE, Idaho — Two residents and two firefighters were injured in an early-morning fire on the Boise Bench Friday.
Both residents have died as a result of their injuries. The man involved passed away on Friday and the woman passed away on Sunday.
The house fire was reported at 3:46 a.m. in the 2800 block of West Lemhi Street, just off of Vista Avenue.
Boise Fire says there was "heavy fire" on the inside of the home when crews arrived. Crews had to evacuate neighbors and close down the street. It took fire crews 40 minutes to control the fire that sprawled from the main floor of the home and in the hard-to-reach areas of the roof.
Officials added that there was a lot of debris inside the house and small oxygen tanks caused small explosions inside the home.
Two people who lived at the house were taken to a local hospital, one of which, an unidentified adult man, died from their injuries. The other resident was able to escape on their own. A dog and cat also died from the fire.
Those residents have not been identified, and the surviving victim's current condition is unknown. The Ada County Coroner will announce the man's identity at a later time.
Two firefighters were also hurt while working to put out the flames, but their injuries are minor, according to the department.
Boise Fire determined the cause of the fire to be accidental and was started when smoking materials were ignited by medical oxygen.
Officials added that there were no working fire alarms in the home.
