[Scan-DC] Two working Montgomery fires

[Doug Kitchener]

Wow... did your neighbor say what part of the store he was in / where the fire was, Rick?  For the list, this is a good-sized store.  There's a food prep and service area and deli in the front left corner as you face the store; I'll bet it was there.  I was in there on Sunday; my Mom lives in Riderwood Village, the retirement community right across the street.  Lots of seniors shop in that store; I was wondering about that while listening, as it sounded like the evacuation was going slowly.  Apparently no one was injured, and I did hear eventually that a secondary search had been completed with nothing found.  Hopefully at that time it wasn't too busy or things were slowing down... every time I've ever been in there it's been bustling.

Helo must be a news chooper... hovering overhead fanning the flames?  :)
