On Monday evening, July 6, firefighters battled an
apartment fire in the 3600 block of Silver Park Drive in Suitland. The fire of undetermined cause and origin
resulted in the displacement of 42 residents from 12 apartments and caused an
estimated fire loss of $100,000. Fortunately,
no injuries were reported.
Just before 8:30 pm, firefighters arrived to find a 3-story
garden style apartment building with fire and smoke showing from a top floor
unit. The fire was starting to extend
into the roof/attic area of the building before firefighters were able to gain
control and extinguish the fire.
The County Citizens Services Unit, Red Cross and apartment
complex management were working to provide shelter to the 30 adults and 12
children that suffered displacement.
