Forest Drive House Fire Rekindles Thursday Afternoon

Annapolis city firefighters needed two tries to get a house fire under control Thursday, according to a department spokesperson.

Shortly after 11 a.m., crews responded to the 2000 block of Forest Drive for a fire in a single-story home. After the fire was initially thought to have been under control, crews were again dispatched to the same residence at 3:47 p.m., said department spokesperson Dale Thompson.

According to Thompson, investigators believe some of the personal belongings inside of the home caused the fire to rekindle to a level where extra assistance was needed.

Thompson said the fire is now under control and investigators do not have a cause for the fire or an estimate of damage at this time. No one was injured during the incident.
