Overview
- Fire crews found and rescued an infant from a two-alarm row-home fire on Foxcroft Lane in Essex, and the child was hospitalized in critical condition.
- Three other people from the Essex home self-evacuated and were taken to a hospital, with officials saying the fire was brought under control after spreading to a second row house.
- At a nine-story senior high-rise at 101 Center Place in Dundalk, firefighters contained a separate two-alarm blaze to one apartment, but heavy smoke and sprinkler activation caused extensive damage.
- The building was cleared of residents, authorities expect significant displacement affecting roughly a quarter of occupants, and responders are coordinating with Anne Arundel County, the MTA and the Red Cross for sheltering.
- Officials said both fires were contained, and residents from the Dundalk building were treated for smoke inhalation; separately, a white sedan struck fire equipment at the Essex scene, damaging two trucks without reported injuries.
