LAUREL, Md. — Firefighters were at the scene of a burning home in Laurel Thursday morning, according to Prince George's County Fire Department Public Information Officer Michael Yourishin.
The house fire located on the 12000 block of Aspenwood Lane was reported just before 6 a.m., Yourishin said.
When fire crews arrived at the scene they found fire showing from the back of the 2-story home. The flames later extended through the roof of the home.
Firefighters were forced to evacuate the residence and battle the flames from the outside as flames expanded.
A woman and dog were evacuated from the home and accounted for, Yourishin said. There are no reported injuries.
As of 6:40 a.m., the fire had been knocked out, but crews are at the scene getting rid of hot spots.
PGFD ruled the cause of the fire as "undetermined" and estimated the damage to cost $350,000. Initial investigation shows that the smoke alarms were activated in the home.
