MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (DC News Now) — A family is without a home just before the holidays after a tree fell onto a house in Takoma Park on Saturday.
In a post on X at 3:10 p.m., Pete Piringer with the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service (MCFRS) said crews were on the scene after a tree fell into a home in the 500 block of New York Avenue.
The tree struck the corner of the house, near the chimney. Piringer noted that there was an active fire in the fireplace at the time.
