Firefighters were called to the 4300 block of Perkins Place at around 11 p.m. on April 15, where there was a reported house fire that spread to an adjacent home, though any occupants were able to escape safely.

Crews were able to have the fire under control shortly after 11:30 p.m. on Monday, though they remained at the scene to knock down any hotspots while the Maryland Fire Marshal was called to investigate the blaze, which started in one home and spread to a neighboring residence.

The fire came hours after three people were found dead in an Aberdeen house fire that is now being investigated as a triple homicide by the police. No injuries were reported in the Abingdon fire.

No details about the cause or origin of the fire have been released by investigators.

Five people were displaced by the fire and are being assisted by Harford County officials.
