Two Alarm Fire In Davidsonville

From the Capital Gazette:

Nobody was injured Monday night in a two-alarm house fire in Davidsonville.

Anne Arundel County firefighters responded shortly after 10:20 p.m. to a report of a structure fire in the 1000 block of Ashe Street.

When firefighters arrived, they found the garage engulfed in flames, said department spokesman Lt. Craig Oldershaw. A second alarm was sounded.

Firefighters were able to knock down the fire as flames spread to the attic and second floor, Oldershaw said. The blaze was placed under control in about 20 minutes.

The home, situated along a tree-lined street about a half mile from Rutland Road, sustained extensive damage.

Two residents home at the time of the fire made it out safely, Oldershaw said.

While the cause of the fire was not yet known as of 11:30 p.m., investigators believe it started in the garage, Oldershaw said.
