A 10-month-old child is in the hospital due to a wall between two apartments collapsing on a his crib on Monday at 1:00 pm from an explosion that occurred in the apartment building.
Arnetta Sands, 36, was in her apartment, spraying insecticide while her stove was on, the stove caused the chemicals to ignite which created an explosion which caused Ms. Sands first degree burns on her back and arms as well as the wall between her apartment, 10 B, and her neighbor’s apartment, 10 C, to collapse. Her neighbor’s 10 month old son, Andre Henderson was asleep when the wall collapsed on top of his crib.
Firefighters removed the potion of the wall that fell on the crib and Johns Hopkins says Andre may have suffered some smoke inhalation but is otherwise ok. The explosion occurred in the southeast district on the 200 block of North Aisquith Street high rise projects.
Andre’s mother who was also in the apartment, Renee Henderson, 23, was uninjured. The Fire Captain Thommen said the explosion was accidental.
