He Locklear was probably gone by the time we got there." He said the first firefighters arrived just three minutes after the fire was reported. Investigators said the fire apparently started when an electric oven overheated, igniting adjacent cabinets, Flynn said. The fire spread through the basement kitchen and up the stairs to the second floor.

Flynn said the fire was first reported at 6:30 p.m. by a neighbor who reported seeing smoke coming from a house next door to Locklear's house. Engine 51, the only unit stationed at East Monument Street and Highland Avenue, had been called away under the city's "first responder" policy after a call for medical assistance was received. Two other trucks that would uals for ambulance service, Flynn said. The costs are borne on the general tax rate.

The legislation would not cover ambulance calls where crewS respond but do not transport the patient to a hospital. The board would not be permitted to deny service to anyone.unaWe to pay the fee. Councilwoman Rochelle Tiikki" Spector, D-5th, said the fees could generate $2 million a year, Yhbstfy from third-party insurers.

But she said it would not end abuse of the emergency medicaLsys-tem by those whose illnesses pjjjjji-ries aren't emergencies. By Frank D. Roylance Evening Sun Staff Baltimore fire officials say a 21-year-old Baltimore man who died 'Saturday after his kitchen caught fire probably could not have been saved even if a fire truck stationed two blocks from his house had been available to fight the fire. The truck was tied up answering a call for medical assistance from a woman who turned out to have a "mild fever and swollen glands, fire "officials said. She later refused 'transportation to a hospital.

Fire Department spokesman Patrick Flynn said Eric Lock-lear, of the 3200 block of E. Monu- ment was found in his basement apartment after firefighters from a station a mile away arrived and ex-; tinguished the fire. Locklear was unconscious and not breathing. He was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he was pro- nounced dead at 7:47 p.m. 3 Flynn said that even if the neigh said.

City ambulances make 100,000 runs a year, 274 a day, he said. "I think they city ambulance crews only transport about 52 percent of their patients," he said. "There are a lot of patients who are gone left the scene on arrival, handled by police, refused service or false alarms Probably only 15 percent require advanced life support." So dispatchers sent Truck 20 and Engine 3, from a station in the 6700 block of Pulaski Highway, about a mile from the fire at Locklear's apartment, Flynn said. Despite the distance, Flynn said, Truck 20 arrived at the fire scene at 6:33 p.m., just three minutes after the fire was reported. Under the "first responder" policy, fire trucks respond to medical emergencies where ambulances are likely to be more than five minutes getting to the scene, or where the calls involve heart attacks, shootings or other emergencies where a quick response may be critical.

The Fire Department has produced public service announcements to try to educate residents not to use emergency services for non-emergency problems, but the practice continues, Flynn said. Even so, he said, "We ha'ven't seen it as a problem because we have enough units where we've got backups. When those two fire alarms came in at the same time, they transferred units in from other areas to help fill in the gap."

However, Burgin did say his wife had complained of a headache and police speculated that that might have in some way contributed to the accident.

The accident happened about 4:15 p.m. Saturday when Burgin's northbound Chevrolet Caprice Classic crossed the center lane of Md. 30 and crashed into a Lincoln Town Car that was being driven south by Atwell.

Police said the accident occurred just after Burgin cleared a crest in the road and that each driver should have been able to see the other vehicle from about 150 feet away before the collision. "We may never know why she crossed that line," said Sgt. Ronald Earp, a Baltimore County traffic investigator. Burgin was driving to a religious retreat at the Milldale Camp off Hanover Pike.

Roylance Evening Sun Staff The FBI and police in two Maryland counties are looking for a man wanted in the 1987 murder of his wife and suspected in as many as 13 area bank robberies since then, the latest last Friday. Charles Wilson Chester, 47, a former Washington insurance salesman, was identified Saturday by the FBI as the prime suspect in Friday's armed robbery of a Baltimore ty Savings Bank branch in Catons-ville. The bank, at 728 N. Rolling Road, was held up at 9:35 a.m. by a man armed with a large black handgun, police said.

The robber fled after stuffing an undisclosed amount of money into a briefcase. Chester was linked to the holdup through photo identifications, said FBI spokesman James Dearborn. It was the third time that bank branch has been held up, apparently have responded to the fire from a station about 20 blocks away on Conkling Street below Eastern Avenue, were busy with another blaze in the 2600 block of Llewelyn Flynn said. In this case, Flynn said, the nearest ambulance was more than five minutes away. After emergency personnel examined the.

woman, they found she had a mild fever and swollen glands. Such calls, where residents call a city ambulance instead of visiting a clinic or making an appointment with a doctor, are common, Flynn formed the autopsies. Four people died in the crash. The other two fatalities were Atwell's wife, Gertrude, 62, and the couple's daughter-in-law, Shirley Leona Cadd, 36, of White Marsh. Calvin Atwell was a retired meat cutter and his wife was a retired glass inspector.

Burgin was the mother of tennis star Elise Burgin. One person survived the crash. James W. Cadd, 38, of Parkville, was listed in serious but stable condition today at the Shock-Trauma Unit in Baltimore. Shirley Cadd was James Cadd's robberies Prince George's County since the June 8, 1987, murder of his wife, Aster Belaynek Chester, 33.

She was found stabbed to death in the kitchen of the couple's Largo home after relatives told police they had not seen her for several days. Her husband disappeared and later was charged with the murder. The FBI believes Chester is responsible for 13 bank robberies since his disappearance. They have included holdups in the Kingsville, Parkville, Pikesville and Catonsville sections of Baltimore County. In each robbery the robber displayed a gun, Dearborn said, but "he's been relatively polite.

Nobody's been injured." Police describe Chester as 6 feet tall and weighing 180 pounds. He wears glasses and may have a beard and mustache. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the FBI at 265-8080, or Baltimore County police at 887-2120. This week's jackpot has an estimated annuity value of $3 million. Lottery officials said yesterday that nearly 43,000 winning tickets sold in the first two weeks of the restructured Lotto game still have not been cashed, apparently because players weren't aware they can collect $5 for a ticket matching three of six numbers.

As of yesterday, they said, 24,729 $5 tickets from the Feb. 18 drawing and 18,054 from the Feb. 25 drawing remain to be cashed. The tickets have a total cash value of nearly $214,000. Id Acquiring minds know, for collies, cars and couches, thereTs no better place to go than the Sun Classifieds.
