Five adults, three kids and multiple pets are displaced. They are being assisted by the Red Cross.
“Especially something that happens at such an early hour, at 3 a.m. people are sleeping and stuff like that," Frederick County Fire Spokesperson Sarah Campbell said. "Residents here moved quickly. As first homes started to evacuate, they went to other additional homes and started to evacuate, because you don't know how far that's going to spread, how fast that's going to travel."
Two homes are severely damaged, and two have minor damage, authorities said. One of the homes is charred, and its roof is gone.
