An apartment fire on the 12000 block of Grey Eagle Ct. in Germantown that involved the balconies of two apartments has caused $250,000 in damages and left one family displaced.

The incident, which occurred around 3:45am Tuesday morning, was the result of improperly discarded smoking materials.  The occupants of the apartment smoked a few hours before the fire and placed cigarette butts into a plastic bin used to collect discarded smoking materials, according to Chief Spokesperson for Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Pete Piringer. The occupants awakened when the balcony was on fire and briefly attempted to fight the fire before evacuating the building.
