MARYLAND
Fire caused by smoking materials
kills one, injures a second
A fire caused by smoking materials
claimed the life of a female resident
and injured the male occupant of
another unit of a multifamily residence,
according to fire investigators.
The male victim, who lived upstairs
from the woman who died, called the
fire department at 9:40 p.m. after
smelling smoke. He was able to evacuate his apartment under his own
power.
Arriving crews reported seeing no
signs of fire from the street, but smoke
was visible in a second-floor hallway
as they drew closer to the two-story
building.
Crews entered the building and
found the female on the floor of her
first-floor unit, where a fire at that
point had largely self-extinguished due
to a lack of oxygen. After attempts to
resuscitate the victim proved unsuccessful, paramedics determined that
she was deceased shortly after 10 p.m.
The upstairs tenant was taken to the
hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation injuries.
Investigators determined that the fire
began when smoking materials ignited
a recliner in the victim's living room.
The victim's husband was not home
at the time of the fire and reported to
investigators that he had begged his
wife not to smoke when she was alone.
Information was not available on
the presence of automatic detection
equipment.
The building contained four apartment units and occupied a ground
floor area of 800 square feet (74
square meters).
The fire caused an estimated $2,000
in damage to the building and an
additional $2,000 in damage to contents. No information was available
on the pre-fire value of the building or
contents.
FLORIDA
One dies when e-cigarette lighter
ignites house fire
Firefighters were dispatched by an
alarm monitoring company to a twostory residence following activation by
the home's fire alarm at 9:29 a.m.
An arriving engine company reported
no signs of fire, but noticed smoke
showing from the gable end on one
side of the residence and could hear an
alarm sounding inside. Crews upgraded
the call to a complete structure response
and made a forced entry through the
front door, then advanced with a hose
through heavy smoke conditions to the
second floor, where they found a small
fire in the corner of a bedroom.
