Large Davidsonville House Fire

DAVIDSONVILLE, MD — It took almost 90 firefighters more than an hour to contain a house fire in Davidsonville Tuesday night. The fire broke out just after 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5 at 2001 Rosetta Way. The fire engulfing the 15,000-square-foot two-story single-family home proved difficult to battle, because the home isn't located near public water and it is a sizable home, the Anne Arundel County Fire Department reported. Officials had to call in a water supply task force and trigger a second alarm.

Three additional fire departments responded to the fire, which officials believe started at the back of the home toward the garage area. The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Anne Arundel County Fire and Explosives Investigation Unit. Five occupants of the home have been displaced and there were no injuries.

Two Alarm House Fire - November 5, 2019
Rosetta Way, Davidsonville, MD

Firefighters responded to multiple 9-1-1 calls reporting fire from the back of the house at 2001 Rosetta Way. First arriving firefighters found heavy fire conditions from the garage area on the side of the large (15,000 square feet), two-story single-family dwelling.

Due to the amount of the structure involved in fire, the size of the home, and it is located in an area without public water, firefighters called for a Water Supply Taskforce and a second alarm. Eighty-eight firefighters from several jurisdictions brought the fire under control in a little over an hour (70 minutes).

The cause of the fire is under investigation by members of the Anne Arundel County Fire and Explosives Investigation Unit. Smoke alarms were present and activated, providing occupants the time to escape without injury. Five occupants of the home have been displaced.
