In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The Hagerstown Fire Department responded to the scene, with 49 firefighters tackling the blaze. The fire was brought under control within five minutes of their arrival. Preliminary findings indicate the fire’s origin was in the basement of the property. The cause has been preliminarily determined to be accidental.
While the structure sustained an estimated $200 in damages, there were no displaced residents. The home was equipped with a smoke alarm, which activated during the incident. No fire alarm or sprinkler systems were present at the property. No arrests were made in connection with the fire.
The Office of the State Fire Marshal is a division of the Department of State Police committed to public safety through education, inspection, investigation, and fire protection engineering.
