Firefighters Contain Blaze in Lexington Park Home
Lexington Park, MD – Early Monday morning, May 19, 2025, emergency responders swiftly extinguished a house fire on North Essex Drive. At approximately 1:36 a.m., the homeowner alerted 911, reporting smoke filling the residence while evacuations were underway.
Firefighting crews from Bay District, NAS Patuxent River, Hollywood, and Second District arrived to find the single-story home seemingly unaffected from the exterior. Fortunately, the homeowner was outside with his three dogs. Upon a thorough inspection, firefighters identified flames in a bedroom and successfully extinguished the fire within 15 minutes. Further searches found no additional residents or pets, but crews discovered fire within the walls during extension checks.
