• "Officials announced that a Glen Burnie house blaze displaced six residents and hospitalized a firefighter on Monday. Doctors expect the first responder to survive. Authorities are still investigating what caused the fire, which started on the first floor. They did not estimate how much damage the flames caused. Officials also don't know if the home had functioning smoke detectors." (Glen Burnie Patch)
