For Immediate Release: Tuesday, January 4, 2022
Montgomery County Fire and Rescue units were called to a fire at 1700 Rockville Pike, Halpine Road.
The fire, which caused smoke to be visible from outside of the garage, started on a rubbish pile on the second level of parking garage.
The Montgomery County Council, acting as the Board of Health, met this morning for a public health update and voted to terminate the existing Board of Health regulation that was scheduled to end the indoor mask requirement when Montgomery County reached an 85% vaccination rate. Montgomery County is currently at 83.3%.
The mandate is now scheduled to end on January 31st., meaning masks will be required until at least that date.
