Prince George’s County Fire Department units responded to the house fire in Berwyn Heights on Thursday morning, Jan. 29, not far from Berwyn Heights Co. 14’s firehouse. Units arrived to find fire and smoke showing from the 0ne-story home. Firefighters controlled the fire quickly.
Crews and apparatus from Berwyn Heights (Co. 14), Bladensburg (Co. 9), Hyattsville (Co. 1), Riverdale (Co. 7), Branchville (Co. 11), and College Park (Co. 12) all worked the job.
Prince Georges County Fire Department companies were alerted to the structure fire box at the McDonalds on Baltimore Pike (Rt. 1) in College Park (MD) around 11:30 hours Thursday morning. On arrival, firefighters had smoke showing with fire through the roof. It appears that the fire started in a fryer unit and then extended into the building.
I arrived shortly after the bulk of fire was knocked and have some overhaul and apparatus shots.
