A 36-year-old Baltimore woman was severely burned Friday in her apartment from the ignition caused by spraying an aerosol can around her stove, fire invesigators said.
Arnetta Sands, of the 200th block of North Aisquith Street apartment complex, was spraying an insecticide around 12:13 a.m when it combusted. As a result of the explosion, the connecting wall between the apartments collapsed and landed on a child sleeping in a crib. Sands suffered from first degree burns to her back and neck, and the fire damaged her kitchen and furnishings, fire investigators said.
Andre Henderson, the 10-day-old new born, was saved by firefighters when they removed the portion of the wall off of crib. Renee Henderson, 23, the mother of the infant, was taken to Hopkins’ hospital with her son to get tested for possible smoke inhalation, fire investigators said.
Sands visited a Church Home and Hospital where she was treated and released for burns. Nobody was injured, and firefighters are reporting this incident as an accident.
