The Rescue Squad responded to its second major house fire in two days, this time in the 8000 block of Glenmore Spring Road in Cabin John.
First due Engine 710 from Cabin John arrived first on scene at approximately 2:20 pm with a report of fire in a two-story single family dwelling. There still was heavy fire from the upstairs windows when Rescue Squad 741B arrived a few minutes later.
The crew battled significant heat and dense smoke to successfully search the entire structure and control utilities. After the bulk of the fire was knocked down, they assisted with salvage and overhaul.
In addition to Cabin John, units from Glen Echo, Bethesda, and Rockville also responded.
