BROOKLYN PARK, Md. — A man was killed and a firefighter was seriously injured in an early morning blaze Monday in Brooklyn Park, fire officials said.
Anne Arundel County firefighters responded to the 5200 block of Brookwood Road shortly after 4:30 a.m. Monday and removed the man’s body from inside the rowhouse, said Capt. Russ Davies. As crews tried to bring the fire under control, a firefighter fell from the second story of the home to the ground and was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center with serious but not life threatening injuries, Davies said.
Firefighters extinguished the fire by about 5 a.m., said Davies, who did not identify the victim or the firefighter. The department is investigating the cause of the fire.
