Yesterday, a young, 27 year old college intern in my office is suspected to have died involving foul play in an apartment fire yesterday morning. She had a 5 year old daughter, and was graduating college this Spring and had been given an offer of permanent employment at Reznick Group. This is quite tragic. She had a posperous and fruitful life ahead of her. Following is the cut & paste of the news story appearing in yesterday's television news:
Woman Dies in Prince George's Fire
Landover Hills, MD (AP) - One woman is dead after an early morning apartment fire in Landover Hills. Prince George's County Fire and Rescue spokesman Mark Brady says the woman was in a second floor apartment in the 4400 block of 68th Place. Firefighters were called to the scene just after 6:30 a.m. Brady says the woman appears to be in her late 20s. Her name is not being released. The fire extended somewhat to the top floor of the three-story building. Residents of three apartments have been forced out of their homes because of the blaze.
