A fire in a Springdale home resulted in critical burn
injuries to a male occupant. Prince
George’s County Firefighter/Medics were alerted to a fire inside of a 2-story
single family home in the 3400 block of Edwards Street at around 9:15 this
evening.
Upon Fire/EMS arrival an adult male, in his 50’s, was
located inside with critical, life threatening burn injuries to his body. Medics treated the patient on the scene and
have transported him to a Burn Unit. He
is in critical condition.
It appears there is some fire damage to a piece of furniture that we
believe the man was sitting in when the fire occurred. The man’s wife was able to extinguish the
fire prior to the fire departments arrival.
Fire Investigators are in the initial stages of the
investigation. The incident will remain
under investigation; however, it appears the cause of the fire is accidental.
No additional information is available at this time.
