2 dead, child being evaluated as fire engulfs Prince George's County home
Fire crews are battling flames and working to rescue any remaining occupants trapped inside a home in Prince George's County. So far, first responders have located three people; two of them have been pronounced dead, and the third – a child – is being evaluated, Prince George's County Fire and EMS Department officials confirmed.
BRANDYWINE, Md. - The remnants of a chimney, piles of charred wood and ash, and twisted metal are all that remain after a two-alarm fire destroyed a home in Prince George’s County leaving two people dead and one child injured.
First responders rushed to the two-story home around 8:30 p.m. Monday in the 13000 block of Martin Road in Brandywine.
FOX 5’s Melanie Alnwick says that when firefighters arrived the house was already fully involved and the roof had already started to collapse on itself. Alnwick says water tankers were necessary to fight the flames as the home is in a rural area not near any hydrants.
SkyFox was over the scene and captured smoke billowing from the home and the large emergency response on the ground.
Alnwick says investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the blaze. The names of those killed have not been released.
