Sad News: Six killed in Baltimore rowhouse fire

The bodies were discovered in a search of the charred home by firefighters, who had been forced to leave the interior of the burning building earlier due to high winds, Baltimore Fire Battalion Chief Kevin Cartwright said.
"There were three adults and three children," he said. "One may have been as young as 1 year old."
Firefighters responded to the blaze that was reported at 4:45 a.m. on Tuesday, but they had to abandon the inside of the two-story brick home for safety reasons, Cartwright said.
They continued to fight the fire from the exterior only.
Once the flames were suppressed, firefighters reentered the building and found the bodies amid the debris, he said.
"First we found two, then three, then six," said Cartwright.
The victims were all discovered on the second floor of the single-family home. Information about their identities and their relationship to one another was not immediately known, said Cartwright.
Tuesday's deadly fire marked the third time in two weeks that high winds have forced firefighters in Baltimore to evacuate buildings as they burned, Cartwright said.
While the cause of the most recent blaze is still under investigation, the frequency of fires has increased as temperatures have dropped.
"When temperatures plummet, some people who are economically challenged resort to alternative means to heating their homes like space heaters and that can be dangerous," Cartwright said.
