Hope's death was announced Thursday by Wilmington Fire Chief Anthony Goode.

Hope is the third firefighter to lose their life to the blaze on September 24, following the deaths of Lt. Lieutenant Christopher Leach and Senior Firefighter Jerry Fickes. She suffered burns over 70-percent of her body and had been in critical condition since the fire.

Officials determined the fire had been intentionally set as a result of an investigation.

Beatriz Fana-Ruiz was charged with two counts of murder in the first degree, assault and arson in connection to the fire.
