MONTGOMERY VILLAGE, Md. (DC News Now) — Crews battled a fire in Montgomery Village late Friday evening.
Officials said that around 11:45 p.m., crews responded to Maple Leaf Drive off of Apple Ridge Road for a fire.
Pete Piringer, a spokesperson with the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue System (MCFRS), said that the house did not have any smoke alarms or sprinklers.
One person — the home’s occupant — was inside but managed to get out. That person was taken to a burn center for their injuries.
