The Maryland Fire Marshal announced that a fire at Chaz’s Auto Parts in the 6000 block of Taneytown Pike in Carroll County is under investigation after it caused approximately $400,000 ($200,000 to the structure, $200,000 to the contents of the shop) in damages.
It took a team of 50 firefighters from the Taneytown Volunteer Fire Company an estimated 45 minutes to put out the two-alarm blaze, which sparked from the inside of the building and was first reported by a passerby.
Upon arrival, firefighters were met with heavy smoke conditions, which could be seen billowing out of the auto parts shop's windows. It remains unclear what caused the fire.
