LARGO, Md. — Kentland Engine 33 responded as the third-due engine to a house fire in the 1200 block of Castlewood Drive on June 8.

Engine Company 46 arrived to find fire showing. Engine 33 crews accessed the rear of the home through a fence on Side B, stretched a 400-foot line to Side C and advanced to the second floor using a line-over-ladder operation.

Firefighters extinguished fire in the attic and remained on scene for overhaul and mop-up.
