Two Killed In Blaze That Destroyed Five Maryland Townhomes

A woman and her 13-year-old granddaughter died in a fire that destroyed five town houses in Calvert County, Maryland, Wednesday afternoon. Calvert County Fire and Rescue found several town houses on fire when they arrived in the 3800 block of Gordon Stinnett Avenue in Chesapeake Beach. Firefighters were injured when part of the structure collapsed. Calvert County Fire Chief Stephen Stanton said medics drove three firefighters to a hospital for burns. “There is specific amount of grief that is associated when it’s one of your firefighter brothers that are injured,” he said. Neighbors said the deceased were new to the community. Chopper4 caught the moment another town house that firefighters were dousing with water also collapsed.
