Fire Severely Damages Severn Home

A house in Severn sustained hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage from a fire early Monday morning. 

Firefighters responded at 12:55 a.m. to a report of a fire at 315 Wild Willow Way, according to Capt. James Rostek of the Anne Arundel County Fire Department. 

It took about 75 firefighters 90 minutes to get the blaze under control.

Rostek said there were two adults and one child in the home at the time, and they were awakened by smoke alarms and immediately called the fire department. The family escaped without injury.

Rostek said there was an estimated $350,000 in damage to the home and its contents. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Property records show the house was built in 2007.
