Fire in Seven Oaks

Firefighters Sunday night spent hours battling a large blaze at an apartment complex in Odenton. 

Lt. Cliff Kooser of the Anne Arundel County Fire Department said units responded at about 6 p.m. to the 2000 block of Military Place, just off Blue Water Boulevard. They found smoke and fire coming from the roof of a three-story, garden-style apartment building.

The fire escalated to two alarms, and there were more than 60 firefighters on the scene along with 25 pieces of equipment from as far away as Kent Island.

Firefighters were still fighting the blaze as of 9 p.m. Sunday.

Eagle Landing Way was closed to traffic.

Kooser said there have been no initial reports of injuries and a cause has not yet been determined, he said. 

Displaced residents were receiving assistance at the Seven Oaks Community Center.
