A dramatic rescue unfolded in Maryland on Friday afternoon when a firefighter was injured battling a fast-moving two-alarm blaze that ripped through an apartment complex and forced dozens of residents from their homes.

In Frederick, crews were dispatched to the 800 block of Gabriel Court shortly before 2:40 p.m. on March 13, where smoke and flames were already pushing through the roof of a three-story garden-style apartment building.

What firefighters encountered quickly turned dangerous.

Strong wind helped push the flames through the structure, sending fire racing upward and punching through the roof as crews rushed inside to attack the blaze, officials said.

While crews were climbing the stairwell toward the third floor, a Frederick County Fire and Rescue captain was struck when part of the ceiling suddenly collapsed, trapping the captain inside the burning building.

A Mayday was immediately declared, triggering an urgent rescue operation as fellow firefighters rushed to shield and remove the injured captain from the structure.

The captain was pulled out, treated by EMS crews, and airlifted to Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

With the fire continuing to intensify, commanders ordered firefighters out of the building and shifted to a defensive attack from outside.

Inside the chaos, another life-saving rescue was underway.

During a primary search of the apartments, firefighters located a juvenile trapped inside a second-floor unit and brought the child safely out of the building.

The child was transported to a hospital as a precaution but was not injured.

Crews also managed to rescue multiple pets from the burning building as flames spread through the complex.

The fire drew a massive response across the region.

About 75 firefighters from Frederick and Washington counties responded as additional task force units were requested to help control the blaze.

After an intense firefight lasting more than an hour, the flames were finally brought under control around 4:15 p.m.

The damage left behind is significant.

Two buildings within the complex were affected, impacting 24 apartment units and displacing all residents, according to officials.

Investigators remained on scene Friday evening working to determine how the fire started.

Baltimore, Maryland – Damaging winds and dangerously cold wind chills are creating hazardous conditions across the region through Saturday evening.

According to the US National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, northwest wind gusts of 40 to 60 mph are expected across much of central Maryland, northern Virginia, and the District of Columbia through tonight. These winds, combined with arctic air, are producing wind chills ranging from -5°F to -15°F, with even colder values in higher elevations.

The strongest gusts are likely during the daytime and early evening hours Saturday, increasing the risk of downed tree limbs, sporadic power outages, and difficult travel conditions. Drivers along major corridors including Interstate 95, I-70, I-270, I-395, and U.S. Route 50 may encounter sudden crosswinds, especially on bridges and elevated roadways.

Wind chills are expected to remain below zero through Sunday morning, creating a heightened risk of frostbite and hypothermia with prolonged outdoor exposure. Officials advise limiting time outdoors, dressing in multiple layers, and ensuring all exposed skin is covered.

In the mountains west of the Blue Ridge, conditions will be more severe, with wind chills potentially dropping to -20°F to -40°F. These areas face the highest risk for dangerous cold-related impacts.

Temperatures are forecast to remain cold through Monday before gradually improving early next week. The National Weather Service indicates a warmer pattern by midweek, with a chance of rain returning by Wednesday.

These conditions may significantly affect commuters, students, outdoor workers, and anyone traveling during the weekend, particularly during early morning and nighttime hours.

Residents are encouraged to secure loose outdoor items, check on vulnerable neighbors, and stay informed through official National Weather Service updates as conditions evolve.

In its seventh year, the Tree Frederick program aims to assist City residents in planting more trees. The effort will ultimately increase tree canopy in the City, help improve air and water quality, and might even help residents reduce energy costs.

According to the 2023 Tree Canopy Assessment, the City’s canopy covers less than 20% of the City, falling short of the 40% goal. “To meet that goal, we’ll need everyone’s help,” said Mayor Michael O’Connor. Through the Tree Frederick program residents can purchase containerized trees at a discounted rate due to the City’s 50-50 cost share. The trees will cost residents $30 each with the City picking up the remainder. Residents may purchase up to three trees via a new online storefront, provided by the Arbor Day Foundation.

“We selected this year’s species list with small and large yards in mind. All the species are native and range from small trees like witchhazel to large trees like swamp white oak,” said City Sustainability Manager Jenny Willoughby. Other trees species offered this year include eastern redbud, sweetbay magnolia, black gum, American linden, eastern red cedar, and bur oak.

If you are not sure which tree is right for your space, reach out to the Sustainability Department with your questions at sustainability@cityoffrederickmd.gov

The Tree Frederick program is open only to City residents. The storefront will start accepting orders on February 1 and sales will end on March 26, or earlier, if trees sell out. Residents will need to pick up their trees on March 28 at Harry Grove Stadium (21 Stadium Drive, Frederick, MD 21703) anytime between 11am and 2pm.
