First responders were called to the 8800 block of Cochran Court, where there was a reported "heavy fire" in the back of a two-story home.
According to a Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson, the fire was largely knocked down before 7 a.m. on June 28, though crews remained at the scene for hours to knock down hotspots and clear the scene.
It is believed that the fire began on a back deck and possibly involved a grill and propane tanks.
The home suffered extensive damage that was estimated at $600,000, investigators said. Two adults and two children were displaced.
No injuries were reported.
