Toxic barn fire injures dozens of firefighters in Maryland
A series of weekend fires around Frederick County led to more than 56 firefighters hospitalized from toxic fumes. The Monday night blaze at 10903 Clemsonville Road near Union Bridge, traced to stored hay and a light fixture, forced 100 or more responders to battle the fire for hours. Faradan pesticide fumes sent 14 to Frederick Memorial and 41 to Carroll County General, with one later evaluated. Fire officials continue the investigation as Chemtret prepared hazardous chemical response crews.
