Montgomery County Fire & Rescue units were alerted to the house fire on Tuesday afternoon  (6/2/15) on Coltfield Ct. in Gaithersburg.  Firefighters arrived on scene to find heavy fire and smoke showing from an end of the row townhouse.  The fire extended through two additional town house units in the row, with heavy fire load in the ceilings and walls, causing significant structural damage.  The rapid intervention and a working fire task force were dispatched quickly, and a 2nd alarm was sounded to bring more manpower and relief crews.

Units from the 3rd and 5th Battalions operated for a few hours to get the fire completely knocked and to perform overhaul.

Baltimore City fire units were alerted to the dwelling/building fire on Tuesday morning (5/19/15) at the corner of E. Lombard and S. Conkling Streets in the Baltimore Highlands.  Upon arrival firefighters encountered smoke and fire coming from the 2nd floor and roof of the building.  A second alarm was toned out bringing in additional manpower and resources.  The fire was quickly knocked and extensive overhaul was performed on a day of hot and humid weather reaching the high 80s.  The Baltimore Box 414 Association responded with their canteen rigs to provide hydration and refreshments for the firefighters.
