A total of 75 firefighters, from both Frederick County and Montgomery County, worked together for over an hour to extinguish the flames.

One Frederick County firefighter was transported from the scene with non-life-threatening injuries.

The home was destroyed and the family has been left displaced. The Red Cross is responding to aid the residents.
