In Carroll County, first responders were dispatched shortly after 1 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 4 to The Boston Inn on Baltimore Boulevard in Westminster, where there was a reported fire that broke out inside one of the buildings.
Officials said that it took a total of 15 firefighters from the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department approximately 15 minutes to get the blaze under control and knock down the flames, though it caused an estimated $50,000 in damage to the structure and contents inside the room.
No injuries were reported, and there were no fire alarms or sprinklers present in the laundry room, according to the fire marshal.
The preliminary cause of the fire was determined to be due to an unspecified electrical/mechanical event with a dryer. It is unclear what caused the issue.
