Two firefighters fell to the basement of a home while working a house fire in Prince George’s County. At about 12:52 on Sunday, the Prince George’s County Fire Department was called to the 13000 block of Barnwell Pl in Marlton for a house fire. When crews arrived, they found a 1-story single-family house with heavy fire in the basement extending into the backyard and one occupant self-evacuated. The fire was quickly extinguished. During the incident, the first floor collapsed and two firefighters fell into the basement. A mayday call was sounded, but both firefighters were able to self-evacuate and had no injuries. A third firefighter and a civilian were also evaluated by EMS on scene. No one was taken to the hospital.
