DEAL ISLAND, Md. – Four buildings were destroyed in a fire Monday afternoon on Deal Island.
The fire was reported at around 1:30 p.m. at 11190 Roland Parks Road. The two-alarm fire took crews approximately two hours to control.
Deputy State Fire Marshals say it is believed the fire began in one 32’x60′ building. The property is a 20-acre privately owned island only accessible by boat, and due to strong winds and the fire department having difficulty accessing the island due to low tide, the fire was able to quickly spread to a 1.5-story single family home, a 12’x24′ shed, and a 12’x12′ shed. The single family home was vacant at the time of the fire.
All four structures have been deemed a total loss, with total loss estimated at $600,000. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Early this morning, a devastating fire ripped through Deal Island, leaving four buildings in ruins. The blaze, which broke out in the downtown area, quickly spread, consuming everything in its path.
Firefighters battled the inferno for hours, but unfortunately, were unable to save the four buildings. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but authorities suspect it may have been electrical in nature.
The loss of these buildings is a blow to the tight-knit community of Deal Island. Many residents are now left without homes or businesses, and the impact of this tragedy will be felt for a long time to come.
Our thoughts are with the residents of Deal Island as they begin the long process of rebuilding and recovering from this devastating fire.
