Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS) were called to the scene of a fire at a Bethesda home on the 6700 block of Whittier Blvd at approximately 5pm on Thursday evening, according to MCFRS Spokesperson Pete Piringer.
Upon arrival, crews encountered a fire in the kitchen and smoke coming from the roof and two occupants outside of the home. The fire was quickly extinguished and there was little extension aside from smoke that filled the home. “No injuries, no dinner, two people displaced” tweeted Piringer. The stovetop fire caused approximately $30K in damages, in addition to displacing the two occupants.
