FD_BannerAt around 12:15 a.m. this morning, County Firefighters responded to a dwelling fire in the 200 block of Providence Road in the Mulberry Hills community of Annapolis on the Broadneck peninsula.

Upon arrival, fire was evident from the roof of an attached garage of a two-story occupied dwelling.  Twenty-nine firefighters from Anne Arundel, Annapolis and the Naval Academy were able to bring this 1 Alarm incident under control in 30 minutes.

The cause of the fire was determined to be legal fireworks (used)  which had been placed in a trash can within the garage.
