Fire Damages Vacant House in Aberdeen

The Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal is investigating what caused a vacant Aberdeen home to burn Friday night.

The residence, located at 15 East Bel Air Avenue, had been vacant for a decade when fire caused approximately $50,000 in damages just before midnight on Friday.

The fire, discovered by someone passing by at 11:58 p.m. on May 3, took approximately an hour and a half to control, according to the state fire marshal. The release noted that 60 firefighters—from Aberdeen, APG, Level and the Susquehanna Hose Company—fought the one-alarm blaze.

The fire began in the interior of the home, but the preliminary cause was still under investigation, the fire marshal said. 

Anyone with information may contact the Northeast Regional Office of the State Fire Marshal at 410-836-4844.
