Firefighters Brave Flames, Get Hurt | Annapolis News

A two-alarm fire erupted in Ellicott City early Monday, sending flames roaring from a two-story townhouse and spreading to a neighboring home—forcing four adults and three kids to flee. Though the first home was vacant, the second was occupied, and firefighters battled the blaze with reinforcements from neighboring counties. The roof of the first house collapsed during the firefight, but the fire was contained by 8:20 AM. Tragically, two Howard County firefighters were injured—minor injuries unrelated to the collapse—and the cause remains under investigation. This harrowing event underscores the daily risks first responders take to protect us—and the personal cost of their courage.
