BETHESDA ROW FIRE

A small fire broke out on a roof in the Bethesda Lane section of Bethesda Row Thursday evening.

Montgomery County Fire and Rescue units responded immediately, and the fire was quickly extinguished.  Amanda Earley of the restaurant Redwood, which is a tenant of the affected building, said only a fan was lost, there was no damage to the restaurant, and no injuries.

In fact, Redwood was fully open Friday, and serving stupendous meals like Crab Cakes with real Maryland jumbo lumb crabmeat (which makes all the difference in the world, for the true crab aficionado! Like me!) and a refreshing Caprese Salad.

So stop by - it's a cooler weekend than the last one, and a great time to try the summer menu at Redwood, where they've beaten the heat this week - literally!
