Crews quickly went to work conducting searches throughout the home and working to extinguish the fire. There were no civilian or firefighter injuries.

Fire investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.

Nothing quite like breaking bread with your family. Or in this case, breaking shells with your Penn Daw Family. What a beautiful day/night to fire up the steamer and have some of Maryland’s best Blue Crabs. Thank you to our newest Probationary Fireman Colton Raley for the amazing feast. The “call gods” were good to us as just about every unit was able to sit for an extended time and were allowed to enjoy dinner.
