Ian Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 i went back to investigate the tree.. somehow it mainly hit the building in between windows. looks like it only took one out.. supposedly they called teh FD to come check out the building but it looks fine. I took a pic or two but it's a brushy area so hard to get a good angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master of Disaster Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Looks like another fire and showing up on radar between Chesapeake Beach, Md and LaPlata, MD What radar are you using? The NWS one has some sort of glitch on my PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symblized Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Lots of action on that Anne Arundel police and fire scanner. Pile of tires on fire, church threatened by a fire, fire that jumped a road, etc. Sounds like a number of fires; hard to tell which is which.

Avdave Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 This explains the smoke off I 95 near Rt 212 http://www.wtop.com/?nid=46&sid=2278132 Saturday - 2/19/2011, 11:50am ET LAUREL, Md. (AP) - Prince George's County firefighters are battling a blaze at an industrial mulch plant in Laurel. Fire department spokesman Mark Brady says several piles of mulch are on fire, and the flames are spreading from pile to pile because of strong winds. He says the fire is out of control and has gone to two alarms. Brady estimates there are about 100 piles of mulch at the site on Van Dusen Road, and each is about 30 feet tall and 100 yards long. There haven't been any injuries, but some pieces of fire equipment have been abandoned because they're in unsafe positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 My guestimate as to the Odenton fire. Area listed isn't intended to be fire size, just general area. http://goo.gl/maps/QG9n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 So based on what you're saying this thing is nowhere near under control? Right now its in a pretty rural, semi wooded/ grasses area. Wind direction is taking it towards Residential Odenton. Its jumping the roads cutting off the units, good news is that they seems to have established a effective water supply.

ThePhotoGuy Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The problem now is that fire has spreaded deeper in the woods and it is hard to get water and units back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 I could see the smoke from Rt 100 southbound on my way home just now. Looked like two distinct sources, but hard to tell at this distance with trees and hills in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
