Montgomery County firefighters responded to a house fire in the 5700 block of Cromwell Drive, in the Springfield neighborhood of Bethesda early this morning. Firefighters were called to the scene shortly after 1:00 AM, after smoke filled the 2-story home near Woodacres Elementary School. According to MCFRS Public Information Officer Pete Piringer, firefighters located and extinguished a small fire in the basement laundry room.
All occupants were safely evacuated before fire personnel arrived on scene, Piringer said. Firefighters had some concern that fire was still burning inside the walls, after hot spots were detected in first floor walls near a fireplace.
Fire officials are investigating to determine the cause.
