Montgomery County firefighters are investigating what sparked a house fire on Currier Court in Fallsmead on May 25.

During the emergency response, local streets were blocked as Fire and Rescue Spokesperson Pete Piringer described the scene on his Twitter account as a “firefight.”

According to Piringer, the bulk of the fire occurred in the basement.

Piringer said medics were called to evaluate one occupant for injuries. The Red Cross has been called to assist the residents with housing.
