ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A fire official said the relatives of six family members unaccounted for after a massive fire gutted a waterfront mansion believe they were inside at the time of the blaze Monday.
Anne Arundel County Fire Capt. Russ Davies said today that the charred mansion is the primary focus of the search for the six family members. Davis has declined to identify them. He wouldn't give further details about why the relatives believe the family was inside the mansion.
Federal investigators are traveling to the scene from across the country. Davies said a search will begin when crews stabilize the structure and pump out tens of thousands of gallons of water from the basement — likely Wednesday.
The blaze reduced the multimillion-dollar mansion near Maryland's capital to a scorched stone framework.
