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.
