The cause of a barn fire that caused more than $2 million in damage in upper Montgomery County, Maryland, remains under investigation.
“We’re here doing some follow-up trying to determine what happened,” said Lt. Matt Trivett, a longtime Montgomery fire investigator, said Tuesday.
Montgomery County Fire & Rescue spokesman Pete Piringer said the fire started in a barn on Peach Tree Road near Barnesville Road around 11:45 p.m. Monday.
The fire in the large barn that had two attached structures was “well involved” when firefighters arrived, Trivett said.
