CHARLESTOWN, MD — Deputy State Fire Marshals and K9 Blondie are currently investigating a two-alarm house fire that broke out in Cecil County this afternoon. The incident occurred around 2:50 PM at 125 Conestoga Street, prompting a response from the Charlestown Fire Company, Station 5, along with support from surrounding departments, including the Susquehanna Hose Company.
Due to high winds, the fire quickly escalated and spread throughout the home, leading to the decision to upgrade the response to two alarms. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported in connection with the fire.
The origin and cause of the fire remain under investigation. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available from the Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal.
