DUNDALK, Md. (AP) -- Two people suffered minor injuries in a small fire at a high-rise apartment building in eastern Baltimore County.
The county fire department says one person was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation, while another was taken to a local hospital with minor, non life-threatening injuries. Both are civilians.
A fire department spokesman says the fire started among discarded smoking materials in a trash can in an eighth-floor apartment at 101 Center Place. It was reported shortly before 6 a.m.
Some residents had to be moved to other areas of the building for their safety.
The extent of the damage was not immediately known, but it included water damage because at least one sprinkler activated.
