On Monday September 19 at 2159 hours (9:59 pm) units from Mt. Airy VFC and surrounding area companies were dispatched for a house fire in the 13900 block of Annapolis Court West. First arriving Reserve Engine 11 found smoke coming from the right side of the house. Crews from Reserve Engine 11 stretched a 1.75" attack line to the entry door where they encountered moderate smoke conditions. Upon entry, crews located a small fire that had been extinguished by a neighbor. The house was searched for occupants and walls were opened up to check for extension. Units operated at the scene for approximately 2 hours. The scene was turned over to the Frederick County Sheriffs Office and Frederick County Fire Marshal's Office for origin and cause investigation. There were no injuries to civilians or firefighters.
