At around 2:00 pm, Tuesday, November 26, firefighters from
the Upper Marlboro area were alerted to a house fire in the 3700 block of
Endsley Place. Firefighters arrived
quickly and found a 2-story, with attached converted garage, 2,200 sq. ft. single-family home
with fire showing. The home occupants
escaped unharmed prior to the fire department’s arrival.
It required 35 minutes for the 45 firefighter/medics on the
scene to extinguish the fire. The fire
had spread throughout the structure causing nearly $200,000 in estimated fire
loss.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, however,
appears to be accidental. No injuries
were reported.
The County Citizen Services Unit will be assisting 3 adults
and one 7 year-old child with temporary shelter and assistance by the American Red
Cross.
A neighbor, Ken Washington, that lives across the street obtained still and video images of the house fire. Please provide credit to him if you use these images. The still images demonstrate conditions on arrival through when extinguishment efforts start to take effect.
