2 Firefighters Injured In College Park House Fire
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Prince George's County fire officials say two firefighters have suffered minor burn injuries while battling a house fire in College Park.
Fire department spokesman Mark Brady says the firefighters were taken to the burn unit of Washington Hospital Center on Sunday night, where they were expected to be treated and released. Brady says a person leaving the home also suffered a minor burn injury, but did not seek treatment at the hospital.
Brady says the fire occurred in the 7300-block of Baylor Avenue about 10:15 p.m. Firefighters arrived to find the fire showing from the first floor of the home, and battled the blaze for about a half hour before extinguishing it.
Brady says the fire has displaced a family. Its cause is under investigation.
