Six people were injured in the fire, including a firefighter who sustained minor burns. 

Police on Tuesday announced that one of the injured victims succumbed to her injuries at the hospital several days after the apartment fire.

Officials have ruled the blaze “non-suspicious,” but they will continue to investigate.
