Fire crews in Gaithersburg, Maryland, had a busy early Thursday morning, fighting a series of four fires within a half-hour span.
It began around 1:30 a.m. when units with the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service were called to a home on Divot Road, just off Watkins Mill Road, where a shed and a fence had caught fire.
Ten minutes later, another house caught fire on Dellcastle Road near Watkins Mill Road — just a mile away.
Minutes after that, a vehicle went up in flames two miles down Watkins Mill Road on Travis Avenue.
The series of fires ended around 2 a.m. when crews doused flames at several business at a strip mall along South Frederick Avenue, near East Diamond Avenue.
MCFRS spokesman Pete Piringer said no one was hurt, and it is unclear if the fires were connected.
