JARRETTSVILLE, MD — A fire broke out at a Harford County business Sunday, but the owners stated they are not closing their doors.
Multiple fire companies sent crews to fight the blaze that broke out Sunday night at Jarrettsville Furniture's warehouse, located at 3743 Federal Hill Road in Jarrettsville. No injuries were reported by the fire companies. A stretch of MD 165 was shut down temporarily.
The family-owned business has operated since 1972 in Harford County.
