WARWICK â Investigators are blaming the improper discarding of rags that had been used for staining for a fire that damaged a Warwick home early Monday morning, according to the Maryland Office of the State Fire Marshal.
âThe residents were not displaced as a result of the fire, and the dwelling was being renovated at the time of the fire,â reported Sr. Deputy State Fire Marshal Oliver J. Alkire, an agency detective and spokesman.
An occupant called 911 at 4:38 a.m. on Monday, after discovering the blaze inside the residence in the 1000 block of Sassafras Road, prompting approximately 15 firefighters with area volunteer fire companies to respond to the scene, according to fire officials.
