At approximately 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 30, a spokesperson for the Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service said that a fire started in the 3500 block of Landing Way in Bradford Crossing that quickly grew to a two-alarm blaze.
It took a team of approximately 90 firefighters to knock down the exterior fire, but at least eight townhouses suffered extensive damage.
Investigators said that the fire started in an outdoor deck area, and is believed to have been caused by a misplaced fire pit or ashes. It caused an estimated $1.5 million in damages.
No injuries were reported, but the spokesperson said that it is “likely that several families will be displaced.”
