Montgomery, Carroll, and Frederick County units responded to the house fire on Kemptown Road near Damascus, Maryland on January 10. Units arrived to find heavy fire showing from the house. The fire extended into the balloon frame construction making it a challenging blaze to fight. With temps near freezing, MCFRS had their Medical Ambulance Bus respond to provide a rehab area and warmth for the firefighters. The canteen unit from Laytonsville Company 17 was on the scene to provide refreshments and hot coffee to the crews.
