Anne Arundel County firefighters were called to a Glen Burnie home just before 12:30 a.m. Tuesday. Crews arrived to find a fire that had begun in a bedroom in a home on Leymar Rd; the occupants of the home had been able to escape after being alerted by smoke alarms.

35 firefighters responded and were able to get the fire under control in 20 minutes.

Officials say two people who lived in the home sustained minor burn injuries but did not need hospital treatment; a firefighter was taken to Baltimore Washington Medical Center for a minor injury.

The Red Cross is helping the family of five who have been displaced.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation; and no estimated loss has been established.
