Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service (MCFRS) were called to the scene of an apartment fire shortly after 11pm at The Henri apartment building, located at 11800 Grand Park Ave., off of Old Georgetown Rd., in Pike & Rose on Wednesday night.
The fire was reported on the 9th floor of the 16-story apartment and activated the sprinkler system. The cause was a grease fire in the kitchen, but the building’s sprinkler system was able to control the fire until firefighters arrived. There were no injuries reported, but some water damage on lower floors due to the sprinkler activation. Two of the three elevators in the building were out of service as of early Thursday morning due to water damage and several residents have been displaced.
