Laurel Building Fire

In the 2:00 hour firefighters were alerted to a building fire at the Laurel Mall. Firefighters arrived at the Burlington Coat Factory, 14700 Baltimore Avenue, with a fire that appears to have started in a dumpster outside the building. The high winds blew the fire into the loading docks and inside the building. 

Firefighters have the majority of the fire knocked down and continue to check for extension.

I've been listening to it (as much as I can, they're using about 6 or 8 different talkgroups!) and trying to follow it on a map... I believe it covers an area of three or four square miles.  The boundaries are (roughly) Riffle Ford Road. Darnestown Road (Rt. 28), and Germantown Road; it's sortof a triangular-shaped patch, a lot of it is park land (Seneca Creek State Park and South Germantown Recreational Park).

I'm getting ready to go outside and see if I can spot the smoke... still very windy here and it may be dissipating from where I am...
