ANNAPOLIS, Md. — According to Annapolis officials, an individual living in a makeshift structure received second and third-degree burns following a Saturday morning fire.
At about 7 a.m., someone called 911 and reported that there was a fire in the woods, near outbound Rowe Boulevard, but after the College Creek Bridge. When they arrived, Annapolis and U.S. Naval Academy Fire Department units found a makeshift structure that was fully immersed in flames.
