Five firefighters were trapped while battling the house fire but are now all accounted for, the fire department said.

It was one of three fires crews were called to extinguish within hours on the city's east side. The incidents also unfolded after two house fires in the city claimed the lives of a 7-year-old boy and three others on Sunday and Monday. Three others were hospitalized. Fire officials said the causes of Tuesday's fires are under investigation.
