The Maryland State Fire Marshal continues to investigate a two alarm fire in Cambridge that occurred Thursday night. Cambridge firefighters were called to Wood Duck Drive around 11:30pm for a report of an explosion. Fire crews arriving at the scene found the blaze began in the middle unit of a row of two story, wood framed town homes.

A second alarm was struck and neighboring crews from Dorchester and Talbot Counties were called to assist. Investigators say the center home is a total loss – the two adjacent homes suffered significant damage from the fire. Smoke alarms and a residential fire sprinkler system were activated.

Damages are estimated at $750,000.
