Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS) responded to a fire after a passerby reported smoke coming from a home on the 15300 block of Delphinium Lane, off of Norbeck Rd (Flower Valley), in Rockville a little before noon on Saturday.
Upon arrival, the crews noticed that the fire was coming from the garage. Approximately 55 firefighters responded to the call. A neighbor advised crews that nobody was inside the home and the bulk of the fire was knocked down by 12:01pm and firefighters checked for extension on the first floor and attic of the house. The fire was completely extinguished soon after. The cause of the fire was likely a gas grill, but is currently under investigation, according to MCFRS Chief Spokesperson Pete Piringer. Moderate damage, mostly contained to the attached garage, was incurred.
