Four Sent to Hospitals After Glen Burnie House Fire

Two firefighters were among four people hospitalized early Sunday following a house fire in Glen Burnie.

Firefighters were called to the 7300 block of Dotson Lane at about 1:30 a.m. and found smoke and flames coming from the basement and first floor of a two-story house, says WJLA TV.

Smoke detectors alerted three of the home's occupants to the fire and they had evacuated before firefighters arrived. 

A 23-year-old woman suffered smoke inhalation and was taken to University of Maryland Shock Trauma with serious, but non-life-threatening, injuries.

A second victim, a 66-year-old woman, suffered minor injuries when she jumped from a second story window. She was taken to Baltimore-Washington Medical Center.

Two firefighters were also transported to BWMC for evaluation.

It took firefighters about an hour to control the blaze, which caused about $65,000 in damages and was ruled accidental.
