WASHINGTON – Several people were left out in the cold after fires broke out in two DC homes early Monday morning.

Fire officials say flames were seen on the second floor of a home in the 800 block of Varnum Street around 6 a.m. The fire spread to the third floor of the home before firefighters could bring it under control. Officials say no injuries have been reported, but four people have been displaced.

Just before 7 a.m., firefighters responded to the 1600 block of 8th Street where the first floor of a townhouse was engulfed in flames. The fire is believed to have spread to the second floor of the house. It is unclear if anyone was injured.

Officials say the cause of both fires remains under investigation.
