A longtime popular restaurant and liquor store sustained significant damage from a fire on June 17, 2015.  Tuckers Restaurant, 9205 Marlboro Pike, in Upper Marlboro was built in 1969 and has been operating since then.  At around 3:30 am firefighters were alerted by a 911 caller reporting smoke coming from the roof.  The first arriving engine from the Forestville Fire/EMS Station #823 reported on the scene with heavy smoke showing.

Firefighters established an exterior attack on the fire using “master streams” providing a high volume of water from extended ladders high above the structure.

A 2nd and 3rd Alarms were sounded bringing additional firefighters, apparatus and support vehicles.  There were about 100 firefighters and medics on the scene and in a staging area.  Incident commanders reported the bulk of the fire was extinguished at 5:10 am.  A firefighter sustained a burn injury and was treated and released from a Burn Unit.

Fire Investigators have declared this fire as incendiary.  Fire loss is estimated at $2 million.
