A woman who has hospitalized Friday morning after escaping a house fire on West Lemhi Street has died from her injuries, the Boise Fire Department said Sunday.
A man who was also in the house during the fire died Friday after being removed from the home by firefighters and taken to the hospital.
The Ada County Coroner’s Office has not released the victims’ identities as of Monday morning.
“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of both victims,” the Boise Fire Department said.
The department has determined that the fire, reported at 3:56 a.m. Friday in the 2800 block of West Lemhi Street, started in the living room and was accidental. It was ignited by smoking materials and exacerbated by the presence of medical oxygen. There were also no working smoke detectors found in the home.
