D.C. Fire and EMS crews were called to the State Department Saturday morning after a fire broke out while work crews were performing maintenance in the building. Fire officials said that the crews put the fire out using handheld extinguishers before emergency personnel arrived, but three workers had to be hospitalized. Initially, a fire official on the scene told News4 that the workers had only suffered superficial burns. However, later Saturday afternoon, a spokesperson for D.C. Fire and EMS confirmed that one of the workers had suffered life-threatening injuries, while the other two hospitalized workers had suffered serious, but not life-threatening injuries. Other burned workers were treated at the scene.
