Sykesville Firefighters Assist Gamber On Fatal Fire

Sykesville firefighters and EMS personnel assisted in the response to a deadly house fire in Gamber's district early Tuesday, November 29.

The fire in the 3200 block of Old Washington Road was reported shortly after 1:00 AM. Arriving units from Station 13 found the Kundin home well-involved in fire. Family members reported that they were able to escape the burning home, but that the patriarch of the family, Stanley Kundin, was still believed to be inside.

Firefighters from several area companies battled the fire, establishing a tanker task force to help supply water. The body of Mr. Kundin was later discovered inside the heavily-damaged home. No other injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Maryland State Fire Marshal's office.
