A garage burned to the ground early July 4, and one firefighter received a minor facial injury containing the blaze, which also destroyed three cars.
The 20×20 garage on River Road in Tall Timbers reportedly contained a stash of fireworks. Volunteer firefighters contended with exploding fireworks for the 30 minutes it took to drench the flames.
Thirty-six volunteer firefighters from Valley Lee, Leonardtown and Bay District firehouses responded.
The Maryland State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating. The cause has not yet been determined.
The estimated loss value is $100,000.
