Strong winds, with gusts over forty miles per hour, helped push and spread the flames through a four story rowhouse.
According to officials, a group of firefighters became trapped in the building's basement, leading to the deaths and other injuries.
A total of eighteen people, including firefighters and residents were hospitalized, because of the fire.
An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the blaze.
The firefighters were later identified as Edward Walsh and Michael Kennedy.
