Montgomery County Fire & Rescue 3rd and 4th battalion units were toned out for the Building Fire on Friday at the Burger King on Darnestown Road. Firefighters arrived to find fire and smoke showing from the entrance of the restaurant and made a quick interior and exterior attack. A tower ladder and tiller were established on adjacent sides of the building, and firefighters opened up the roofing area around the entrance-way using ground ladders, chain saws and Halligan tools. Firefighters applied foam to the roofing to knock down remaining hot spots.
Units from Rockville, Kensington, Germantown, along with the Mobile Air Unit responded. The fire was under control within minutes of arrival with overhaul taking approx. 45 min to complete.
Did the firefighters “have it their way?” Haha. Good work, fellas.
