Two unrelated fires in Prince George's County over the holiday weekend -- one caused by an unattended candle and the other by an electrical problem -- displaced 24 families from their homes. A third fire in the county, involving a car, left a man dead.
Firefighters think that a candle ignited a unit at 538 Wilson Bridge Dr. in Oxon Hill about 5:45 p.m. Saturday, setting the three-story garden-style apartment building ablaze. Firefighters from the town arrived to find heavy fire consuming the second and third floors and the roof. The fire spread to an apartment building at 540 Wilson Bridge Dr., and dozens of firefighters and paramedics responded. The fire was under control by 7:30 p.m.
