HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — Officials say a woman was killed and three of her family members, including a 3-year-old, were injured in a house fire in Hagerstown.
The fire broke out in a house on Summit Avenue on Wednesday afternoon. The Herald-Mail of Hagerstown reports that officials said late Wednesday that a woman’s body was recovered inside a third-floor apartment where she had lived with her family.

One firefighter also suffered smoke inhalation and was expected to be treated and released.
