Massive Fire Guts Maryland Home, Displaces Family Of Four (Photos)

No injuries were reported, but a massive fire tore through a Montgomery County home, leaving it uninhabitable authorities say.

First responders in Gaithersburg were met by flames showing through the roof of a Rosewood Manor Lane home on Thursday afternoon when they were called to help battle a fast-moving blaze that left the house with extensive damage.

The residents were able to escape the home safely, though a firefighter suffered a minor injury while extinguishing the flames, officials said.

Following the fire, two adults and two children were displaced, and the American Red Cross is assisting them with finding temporary housing.
