VIDEO: Firefighters from six Carroll County fire companies were assisted by Baltimore and Howard County units during the hour it took to bring a Gamber barn fire under control Wednesday afternoon.
The Gamber volunteer fire company was the lead company to respond to the 1:14 p.m. call for the fire at a farm and nursery in the 2100 block of Deer Park Road.There were two structures affected by the fire: a large, full-sized barn that was damaged by the fire on one side, and a smaller, one-story addition where the fire started and which Myers said was likely a total loss.
According to a notice of investigation that the Office of the State Fire Marshal put out Wednesday evening, the fire caused about $175,000 damage to the structure and its contents.
