A kitchen fire Saturday afternoon at a home on Bubbling Spring Drive in Germantown was quickly contained after the residence’s sprinkler system activated, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS) PIO Pete Piringer.
MCFRS units were dispatched around 4:15pm to the 14700 block of Bubbling Spring Drive for a reported kitchen fire. Crews encountered light smoke conditions, but the fire had already been controlled by the home’s sprinkler system. Four occupants safely evacuated the home, and no injuries were reported. Responding units included multiple engines, trucks, rescue squads, and battalion chiefs.
In a later update provided at 7:52pm, Piringer confirmed the fire was accidental in nature. Damage to the home is estimated at approximately $25,000. No additional hazards were reported.
