A Deputy State Fire Marshal has arrested a Nanjemoy man who intentionally set fire to a one story single family dwelling in Nanjemoy. The residence is owned by Stephen Stone.
On November 3, 2018, at approximately 10:26 am, approximately 35 firefighters from Nanjemoy Volunteer Fire Department and surrounding departments, responded to a one alarm fire located on the 12000 block of Woodbury Road that caused approximately $200,000 in total damages. It took firefighters approximately 20 minutes to bring the fire under control. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire. No one was home when the fire occurred and therefore, it is not known if smoke alarms activated.
As a result of the investigation by the Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office, it was determined that the origin of the fire was at the side entrance to the home and the cause was incendiary.
