Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS) responded to a large field fire White Ground Road and Darnestown Road in an area between Boyds and Poolesville around 4:30pm.
MCFRS Chief Spokesperson Pete Pirjnger stated that there was a “large field fire spreading” due to dry/drought conditions and low humidity. In an update at 5:20pm, Piringer stated the bulk of fire has been contained/knocked down, but still continuing to make a run (spreading).
