Rome house fires result in two deaths

Two separate fatal house fires have occurred in Rome within a short period.

In the Colli Aniene district, a fire broke out in an apartment on the top floor of a building on via Efisio Orano. Firefighters evacuated the building and rescued three people, including two elderly individuals with disabilities and a woman from the third floor. After extinguishing the flames, which completely destroyed the residence, emergency responders discovered the lifeless body of a man who lived alone.

A second fatal fire occurred in via Val Cristallina, where a 79-year-old man died in his third-floor apartment. Firefighters from the Nomentano station responded to the scene to contain flames in the dining room. Authorities, including police and medical personnel, attended the site. Investigations are ongoing to determine the causes of both incidents.
