(Pittsburgh, PA) Two separate fires that occurred last night are now under investigation after they occurred just blocks apart on the same street in the Bloomfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The first one was reported at around 10:15 p.m. last night in an apartment on the 4700 block of Friendship Avenue on the second floor. There was an evacuation at the building, but no one was injured. The second fire happened at around 11 p.m. about two blocks away on the 4900 block of Friendship Avenue. At the scene of that fire, two people were taken to the hospital. The cause of these fires and if they are connected to each other are unknown at this time.
