Montgomery County Fire & Rescue (MD) units from the 3rd and 4th Battalions were alerted to a house fire early Friday morning. First arriving units encountered heavy fire showing from a large, single-family home. Crews initiated a fire attack knocking down the fire quickly. The fire was in a non-hydranted area of the Derwood section of the county, and firefighters utilized tankers and a folding supply tank to provide water for the firefight. Command was held by BC 703 and 704.
Firefighters worked for several hours chasing hotspots and performing overhaul. The canteen unit from Laytonsville (Co. 17) provided refreshments and hydration for the firefighting crews.
