Fire at Safeway in Bethesda (Photos)

Montgomery County firefighters responded to a report of a fire at the Safeway store at 7625 Old Georgetown Road tonight around 7:30 PM. Since the store is at the base of a high-rise, the incident required a significant response from multiple departments, including at least one unit from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

The fire was caused by a short in a compressor, and was extinguished by Safeway employees with a dry chemical fire extinguisher, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue spokesperson Pete Piringer. Fire operations began winding down about 20 minutes later. No injuries have been reported.
