Fatal Dwelling Fire (updates)                                   Brooklyn Park

One person died following a two-alarm dwelling fire early Monday morning in Brooklyn Park.

Firefighters responded to a call reporting a fire in the area of Brookwood Road Monday morning around 4:35 a.m. The 911 caller was from Southerly Avenue and could only provide a general location of the fire. Firefighters located the fire in a two-story, middle of the group rowhome in the 5200 block of Brookwood Road, near Christian Road, and reported smoke and fire from the second floor.

Firefighters made entry to extinguish the fire and perform search and rescue for possible occupants. They located an adult male on the second floor and removed him to the exterior where he was determined to be in cardiac arrest. Paramedics made efforts to resuscitate him on the scene and when those efforts were not successful he was declared deceased.

During efforts to search the dwelling, a male firefighter fell through the second floor to the first floor. Other firefighters quickly removed him from the residence. He sustained possibly serious injuries and was transported by paramedics to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. His injuries are not life-threatening.

Sixty firefighters from Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, and BWI Thurgood Marshal Airport brought the fire under control in about 20 minutes. There were no additional injuries, and the deceased was the only occupant home at the time of the fire. There was damage to an adjacent home that is unoccupied and under renovation and also to two other occupied homes. The two occupied homes received smoke damage, but the occupants will not likely be displaced.

The cause of the fire is undetermined and under investigation.

Updated Information

Shock Trauma released the injured firefighter around 11 a.m. Monday morning.

Fire investigators located a battery operated smoke alarm inside the dwelling. Due to the damage sustained by the alarm they are not able to determine if it operated during the fire.

The victim of the fire has not been identified. The identity of the victim will be released once identification is completed and the appropriate notifications are made to the family.
