Waldorf, MD - Aug. 10, 2025 - Six people, including four children, were killed in a fire in Charles County on Sunday, according to the Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office.
The investigation and recovery efforts at the residence in the 3000 block of Declaration Court North are expected to continue into the late evening.
Officials said the fire was reported around 8:40 a.m., prompting a response from the Waldorf Volunteer Fire Department and several surrounding departments.
When fire crews arrived, the situation was quickly escalated to a two-alarm fire due to reports of entrapment.
Officials said that six total people died in the incident. All six lived at the dwelling, along with three others - one of whom escaped, while the other two were not home when the fire broke out.
No evidence of criminal activity has been reported related to the fire, though investigators continue to look into what caused the blaze.
