Written Assignment 4 Post 5

     A 10 day-old baby was uninjured after an explosion in a Baltimore public housing complex Thursday, causing a wall to collapse, landing on the baby's crib, officials said. 

     Arnetta Sands, 36, of the 200 block of North Aisquith St. was spraying insecticide from an aerosol can which ignited by a stove that was being used for heating or cooking at 12:13 AM. Sands received 1st degree burns on her back and arms, police said.

     Andre Henderson, 10 days-old, was sleeping in his crib when the combustion occurred. When firefighters arrived, they removed potions of the collapsed wall off of the crib. They said the baby may have had some possible smoke inhalation.

 

     Officials said Renee Henderson, 23, mother of the baby was uninjured. Sands was treated and released from Church and Home Hospital. Baby Anderson was treated and released from Johns Hopkins Medical Center. 

     Fire investigators said this incident was by accident.
