<h4 align="LEFT"><span style="font-family: Times-Bold;"><strong>CECIL COUNTY, MD (April 11, 2015) </strong></span><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;">– Deputy State Fire Marshals have concluded that a fire which took place on Friday, April, 10, 2015</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">which sent one firefighter and one civilian to medical facilities was accidental. </span></h4>
<h4 align="LEFT"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The fire was reported at 3:19 pm </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">by a juvenile occupant of the two-story wood framed single family dwelling located at 675 Kirk Road, Elkton.</span></h4>
<p align="LEFT"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The property is owned by Robert Jackson.</span></p>
<p align="LEFT"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Forty firefighters from Elkton, North East, Rising Sun, Oxford PA., and Newark DE took approximately forty-five </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">minutes to bring the fire under control. Damage to the dwelling is estimated to be $95,000. Smoke </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">alarms were present in the dwelling but did not activate.</span></p>
<h5 align="LEFT"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The injured firefighter was transferred to Bayview Burn Center after being treated at Union Hospital for injuries </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">received while entering the dwelling as the first arriving responder due to initial reports of entrapment. It was </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">later determined that no one was in the dwelling. The juvenile occupant was transported to Union Hospital for </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">treatment of minor burns.</span></h5>
<h5 align="LEFT"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Investigators have determined the fire was accidental as a result of a portable space heater located in a second floor bedroom. The occupants of the dwelling have been displaced and are being assisted by family and the </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">American Red Cross.</span></h5>
