Three Adults Displaced By Abingdon House Fire: Officials

ABINGDON, MD — A house fire in Abingdon Monday morning left three people without their home and their dog. When crews arrived, they reported heavy fire was coming from the garage attached to the home.

Someone inside the residence in the 400 block of Crisfield Drive had discovered the blaze and notified authorities at 10:08 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 25, officials said.

The Abingdon Fire Company responded along with crews from Joppa-Magnolia, Bel Air, Fallston and Kingsville.

Firefighters found and tried to resuscitate the family dog inside the burning home, but the pet succumbed to smoke inhalation, the fire marshal reported.

Within 30 minutes, officials said the fire was under control.

The fire marshal ruled the blaze accidental, caused by an electrical failure in the garage.

As a result, there was $50,000 in structural damage, while $25,000 worth of items were also lost in the blaze, the fire marshal said.

Three adults were displaced, officials reported, and the Harford County Disaster Assistance team was helping them.
