Salisbury townhouse damaged in outside trash fire

SALISBURY, Md. – Maryland Fire Marshals are working to determine the cause of an outside trash fire that damaged a Salisbury townhome late last week.

At around 1:15 p.m. Friday, a Salisbury Police Officer on routine patrol discovered the fire in the 500 block of Green Mor Court. Firefighters responded to the scene and were able to control the blaze in 15 minutes. Officials say the smoke and fire alarms were present but did not activate due to the fact that the fire began outside of the home.

Fire investigators say the blaze remains under investigation. Anyone with information on the fire is asked to contact Deputy State Fire Marshals at 410-713-3780.
