SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — Sioux Falls Police along with Sioux Falls Fire Rescue are reminding people of the importance of working smoke detectors following two fires in recent days that have left two dead. Officer Sam Clemens says a 53-year-old female died after being pulled from an apartment fire July 17th on North Grange Avenue. She was flown to Minneapolis where she later passed away. Results from the autopsy have not yet been released.
A 30-year-old male was taken to the hospital Saturday from a structure fire on the 6600 block of West Pine Meadows Place where he later died. Clemens says three other people were able to safely evacuate that fire, which appears to be accidental. Both fires remain under investigation.
