Shortly after 4:30 a.m. on Aug. 1, first responders from the Cecilton Volunteer Fire Company and other agencies were called to a home on Circle Drive, where they were met by a fully-involved fire with flames showing throughout the residence.
According to the Office of the Maryland Fire Marshal, it took a team of approximately 40 firefighters 90 minutes to get the flames under control.
No injuries were reported.
Investigators say that the fire originated in the area of a golf cart in an attached carport, though the cause remains under investigation later on Thursday morning.
