45 Firefighters from seven different fire departments across three Eastern Shore counties battled a two alarm blaze at a popular summer resort in Talbot County during the morning hours of Wednesday, February 5th.
According to Chief Phil Jones of the St. Michaels Fire Department, his company received a call shortly before 8:00 A.M. for a fire at 9784 Martingham Circle in the Harbourtowne Resort hotel. Chief Jones says the fire began on the outside and prompted a 2nd alarm that brought the Easton, Oxford, Trappe, Cordova, and Queen Anne’s Hillsboro fire departments to the scene, as well as the Talbot Department of Emergency Services. A fire boat from Queen Anne’s County was also utilized to aggressively fight the fire.
