Townhouse Fire Forces Evacuation | Washington DC News

A fiery Monday morning in Ellicott City sent crews scrambling as flames erupted through a townhouse’s roof, spreading to a neighboring unit—forcing four adults and three kids to flee their homes. Backup from Carroll and Baltimore counties was called in, and by 8:30 AM, the blaze was contained. But just as firefighters battled the fire, the main roof collapsed. Thankfully, no one was inside the first unit when it started, but two Howard County firefighters suffered minor injuries. The cause? Still unknown. A harrowing reminder of the dangers faced by first responders and the fragility of everyday safety.
