House Fire in Heavy Snow

February 8, 2010


Rescue Squad crews were challenged by deep snow and an intense basement fire in Bethesda today.

Rescue Squad units responded, along with units from Bethesda, Chevy Chase and two separate Federal fire departments to a house fire in the 7000 block of Exeter Road, in Bethesda. Rescue Squad 741 arrived on scene shortly after Bethesda’s Engine and Truck 706 had made initial on-scene reports of smoke showing from the front and fire showing from the rear of a single family house. This led to dispatch of a task force and a rapid intervention team that included additional units from Cabin John, Kensington, Silver Spring, and Wheaton Rescue Squad.
