A Maryland firefighter and a civilian were injured in a residential fire Wednesday.
The fire broke out at about 2:15 p.m. on the second floor of a middle-of-the-row townhouse in Annapolis, the fire department stated. Smoking materials are thought to have ignited a plastic-covered mattress, and flames spread into the attic and to nearby homes.
One firefighter suffered minor burns battling the fire and was taken to the hospital. A resident also hospitalized for smoke inhalation.
