ESSEX, Md. — An infant is in critical condition following a two-alarm fire in Essex on Friday night.
Officials say crews arrived on the scene and found the fire spreading from one house to another in the 1000 block of Foxcroft Lane.
According to Captain Len Stewart of the Baltimore County Fire Department, the call came in for what was described as an "intense, fast-moving fire."
A family of four was inside the home at the time of the fire. Three family members were able to self-evacuate, but the infant was still inside of the home and was later rescued by fire personnel.
All family members are being treated at area hospitals.
Two homes were impacted by the fire, with one needing to be gutted.
Investigators believe the fire began in the end unit, but no cause has been identified at this time.
