Montgomery County Fire & Rescue units from the 3rd and 4th battalions were alerted to the house fire on Paul Drive in Rockville towards the tail end of the evening rush hour on Friday. First arriving units reported the working fire with fire showing from the 2nd floor. The working fire dispatch was sounded, followed quickly by the RIT alert/alarm.
Firefighters from Rockville companies 3, 23 and 33; Kensington Company 5; and 25; and Rescue 2 (Wheaton) battled the fire. Firefighters rescued a puppy from the house and the dog was quickly returned to its owner, shaken but unharmed.
Early Tuesday morning MCFRS units were alerted to the building fire at Colesville Road and University Boulevard in the “Four Corners” section of Silver Spring. Firefighters arrived to find smoke coming from the roof of Kenny’s Peruvian Chicken restaurant. The fire was located and knocked down quickly. A second alarm was toned out for manpower and relief.
The canteen unit from Kensington Fire Department and the power/air/light unit (from Silver Spring) responded to assist with air resupply and rehab. Multiple engine and truck/tower companies were on the scene as well as Rescue Squads 742B and 715 to serve in the RIT capacity.
Units remained on the scene to perform overall well past 8 a.m. This fire occurred in a very busy area and heavily traveled thoroughfare of Metro DC.
