A fire heavily damaged a North Bethesda townhome in the 10900 block of Brewer House Road early this morning. Quick action by Montgomery County firefighters and the Bethesda Chevy Chase Rescue Squad prevented the fire from significantly spreading to the neighboring units, according to MCFRS spokesperson Pete Piringer.
One adult male was transported to the Washington Hospital Center's burn unit, with second and third-degree burns, Piringer said. Piringer added that the home's occupant was alerted by his smoke alarm. No firefighters were injured.

Everyone remember to have smoke detectors and fresh batteries. Was the only thing that saved this man's life in North Bethesda today.
