BALTIMORE — Two children died in a house fire early Saturday in the Westport neighborhood of South Baltimore, days after two young children died in a house fire in East Baltimore.

A 10-year-old and 1-year old died early Saturday when flames engulfed a house at 2441 Dorton Court at about 1:55 a.m., fire Capt. Roman Clark said.

A 27-year-old and a 4-year-old in the home were not injured, Clark said.

On Wednesday, Nigel Ramirez, 3, and 9-month-old Exekial Ramirez died in a fire in the 600 block of N. Clinton St. in East Baltimore.

Their bodies were found in a second-floor bedroom.
