Two families found themselves in a perilous position shortly before 1 a.m. on July 8, when a fire broke out inside their Rockville home in the 900 block of North Stonestreet, with the flames blocking their exit. 

According to a Montgomery County Fire and EMS spokesperson, upon arrival, crews found the fire outside of the home, blocking the exit for a family, forcing them to jump from their deck.

No injuries were reported, though six people were displaced and are being assisted by the Red Cross. The fire caused an estimated $250,000 in damage.
