Writing Assignment 4 Post 5

An explosion early Friday morning caused a wall between apartments to collapse onto a baby’s crib and injured a woman, authorities said.

Arnetta Sands, 36, who lives in the 200 block of North Aisquith Street, was spraying insecticide from an aerosol can in her kitchen when the fumes were ignited by the stove. Sands was treated and released at Church Home and Hospital with first degree burns on her back and arms, officials said.

Firefighters removed portions of the wall off the crib where 10-day-old Andre Henderson was sleeping at the time of the explosion. He was treated and released at Johns Hopkins Hospital for possible smoke inhalation.

Renee Henderson, 23, mother of the baby, was uninjured. Fire investigators are saying the fire was accidental.
