    A 70-year-old woman died in a one-alarm house fire on Monday.

    The victim was identified as Barbara Spokus, of Shortway in Dundalk.

    Fire crews responded to the 3100 block of Shortway at 2:30 a.m. for a report of a dwelling fire with rescue. Units arrived three minutes later and found fire coming from the home. Firefighters entered the home to search for the resident and found her, deceased, in the living room. A male occupant of the home, who escaped the fire, was treated by EMS and transported to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center with serious injuries.

    BCPD fire investigators have ruled this an accidental fire caused by improperly discarded smoking materials.
