61 Displaced By Massive Fire In PG County: PGFD

OXON HILL, MD -- A total of 61 people -- including 22 children -- were displaced by a two-alarm apartment building fire in Oxon Hill on Saturday.

The fire, which happened in the 5500 block of Livingston Terrace, produced a column of smoke that was visible from D.C. and Northern Virginia.

In addition to displacing 61 people, three Prince George's County Fire Department firefighters were transported to the hospital for evaluation, according to the PGFD PIO Twitter account. However, no civilians were injured.

Firefighters arrived to find a "well advanced" fire at the terrace level with extension to all three floors of the building.
