Shortly before 3 a.m. on Friday, March 10, crews from the Darlington Volunteer Fire Company were called to the 3300 block of Hughes Road in Darlington, when a neighbor reported a fire that had broken out inside an area garage.

More than two dozen firefighters took approximately a half hour to get the fire under control, though it caused an estimated $20,000 in damage before the flames were knocked down.

According to the Maryland State Fire Marshal, one firefighter was injured during the fire after falling through a roof. They were transported to a local hospital with a non-life-threatening injury.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
