UPDATED: Beverly Beach home heavily damaged by afternoon fire

UPDATE: From the Anne Arundel County Fire Department:

Firefighters responded to 9-1-1 calls reporting a dwelling fire in the 1600 block of Chesapeake Lane. Initial callers reported that the resident of the home was working in the attached carport on a gas powered generator when the fuel began to leak and ignited. First arriving firefighters reported fire through the roof of the single-family home. The fire was brought under control in about 40 minutes. Two adults and two juveniles have been displaced and are being assisted by the Red Cross. Members of the Anne Arundel County Fire Department Fire and Explosives Investigation Unit determined the fire to be accidental. There were no injuries.


On Sunday, October 27, 2019, just before 4:00pm, a fire broke out in a home in the 1600 block of Chesapeake Lane in the Beverly Beach community of Edgewater.

When fire crews arrived there was heavy fire from the home and the smoke plume could be seen clearly in Galesville across the Rhode and West Rivers.

The Anne Arundel County Fire Department is investigating the fire to determine the cause, but a neighbor stated that he heard an “explosion of sorts and saw the car port on fire.”

There is no word on any injuries to firefighters or civilians.   There is no damage estimate at this point. The Annapolis City Fire Department assisted. This story will be updated.
