Just before 8:00 PM this evening Brush 125, Engine 123, and Duty 12 responded to a possible woods fire in the area of Raincliffe Road and Buttercup Road in Sykesville. Duty 12 arrived on the scene and advised that a vehicle was on fire next to a building located off of Buttercup Road. Engine 123 arrived and laid a supply line in from a fire hydrant after gaining entry through a gate. Duty 12 requested the fire box assignment bring units from West Friendship, Windfield, Gamber, and Randallstown.

The crew from Engine 123 and Brush 125 went to work pulling an attack line and extinguishing the fire and check for fire extension into the building. Crews found light smoke on the interior of the building and no fire extension when they gained access. The fire was contained to the vehicle and the exterior of the building.

The casue of the fire is under investigation by the Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office.
