Eighty firefighters from eight Carroll County fire companies responded late Tuesday evening to fight a single-alarm house fire in the 1300 block of Western Chapel Road.

The first came into the Carroll County emergency operations center for an investigation of a reported large outdoor fire at 10:18 p.m. At 10:34 the fire was upgraded to a box alarm for a house fire, and shortly after a tanker task force was requested to help supply water.

Firefighters from Westminster, Union Bridge, New Windsor, Pleasant Valley, Manchester, Taneytown, Hampstead, and Gamber remained on the scene for over three hours. The fire was declared under control shortly after midnight, according to the EOC. Units from Frederick and Baltimore County backed-up county stations.

New Windsor firefighters stayed on the scene until past 4 a.m. to assist the fire marshall’s investigation.

The fire remains under investigation by the Maryland State Fire Marshall. According to the fire marshall’s office, the 2-story log home was vacant at the time and suffered $25,000 in damages. “The vacant home was being prepared for demolition. Anyone having information concerning this fire is asked to contact 410-386-3030.”
