Two separate fires in Baltimore County apartment complexes Thursday hospitalized seven people including a young child reportedly in grave condition, officials said.

Crews managed to rescue everyone — including several people trapped on the third floor and a 3-year-old boy in the basement — in about 10 minutes, according to Elise Armacost, a Baltimore County Fire Department spokeswoman.
