Smoke in the parking garage of the 8001 Woodmont apartments in downtown Bethesda drew a large response from Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service personnel, temporarily closing down Woodmont Avenue in the vicinity of St. Elmo Avenue shortly after 9:00 PM tonight. Firefighters eventually cleared the scene, but no further information about the incident has been released by MCFRS as of this writing, including whether there was a fire at all. It's also unclear why a ladder was extended to an upper floor of the building at one point.
A witness reported that a few minutes before the fire response began, a man in a small cleaning vehicle was working on the ramp of the garage. He reportedly drove the vehicle away after firefighters arrived at the scene. Was this a "dustbuster" truck that may have stirred up clouds in the garage that resembled smoke?

Scanner indicated crews investigated a nuisance haze in the garage briefly before clearing. 911 caller had reported all levels of the garage full of "smoke". Ladder up per local and national response protocols.
Too new to be HOC owned...
They prob raised the ladder to do some training with probie while the other crews cleared the “haze” reported
@11:08 - Too snarky to be liberal comment.
Burned up rubber fan belt.
