Electrical Fire Displaces Gaithersburg Family

An electrical fire spread to the inside of a house on the 19000 block of Quail Valley Boulevard in Gaithersburg.

According to Pete Piringer, spokesperson for Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Services, all occupants of the house were outside when the fire spread.

Piringer said that firefighters were able to contain the fire, and eventually a power company came to cut the power on the street. Although nobody was injured, Piringer said that two adults and two children will be displaced from their home.
