Flames were showing from a Bowie home’s garage and attic before crews contained the fire on Holiday Lane. No injuries were reported as investigators examined the scene.
Firefighters contained a house fire in the 12800 block of Holiday Lane in Bowie after flames were visible from the garage and extending into the attic of a single-family home.

Garage and attic fires can move fast once flames reach concealed spaces, stored items or roof framing. Prince George’s County advises homeowners to check smoke alarms inside each bedroom, outside sleeping areas and on every level of the house, then replace alarms after 10 years. The county also says to keep roof eaves and gutters clear of leaves and debris and to trim trees away from overhead electrical wires and chimneys, two areas that can help fire find a path upward in a single-family home.
