Two fires in the District broke out just minutes apart early Wednesday morning, forcing more than a dozen people from their homes.

The first call to D.C. Fire and EMS came just before 2 a.m. 鈥� a basement fire on Kansas Avenue in the Petworth neighborhood in Northwest.

Two firefighters were sent to a hospital with minor injuries. Nine people were displaced, according to the fire department.

Less than 20 minutes later, fire crews were called to a row home on Kentucky Avenue in Southeast D.C.

That fire left seven people and two cats without a home.

No injuries were reported in the fire on Kentucky Avenue.
