A high-rise fire in an apartment building in Silver Spring has left a woman dead and 15 others injured.
Three Montgomery County firefighters suffered injuries as well but are expected to recover, WUSA reported.
Chief Scott Goldstein said the Arrive Apartments are made up of two connected buildings with roughly 1,200 to 1,300 residents.
The buildings had sprinkler systems, but those sprinkler systems were limited to stairwells and other mechanical areas. There were none in the hallways or units.
Goldstein said the fire was contained to one apartment.
