At around 3 a.m., another basement fire was sparked in a home in the 12800 block of Peachleaf Court in Upper Marlboro. Firefighters say an unconscious woman was removed from the house, treated on the scene, and transported to a local hospital, where she is in critical condition. The woman's identity was not released.
The third fire of the morning happened at around 8:30 a.m. on the second and third floors of a three-story apartment building in the 3500 block of Windom Road in Hyattsville. No injuries were reported.
The causes of the fires are still under investigation.
