Anne Arundel County fire officials battled a two-alarm house fire in Lothian late Thursday night. The State Fire Marshal's Office said 80 firefighters were called just after 8:30 p.m. to the 5500 block of Greenock Road. Video showed a large two-story, single-family home completely engulfed in flames. Firefighters arrived and reported fire on the second floor and in the attic. The house is located in an area without fire hydrants. A combination of supply hose line and water tanker shuttle was used to supply water from a pond about 3,000 feet away. It took about two hours for firefighters to get the fire under control. Crews remained at the scene until about 3:30 a.m., and investigators stayed throughout the night. Five firefighters suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center. All but one of them were released by Friday morning.
