On Thursday, March 16, 2023, at approximately 1:20 p.m., firefighters from Leonardtown, Hollywood, Seventh District, Bay District, and Valley Lee responded to 40700 Parsons Mill Road in Loveville, for the reported shed on fire.

While crews were responding to the scene, St. Mary’s Communications advised the 911 callers reporting the fire was spreading to nearby structures and wooded area.

Firefighters arrived on the scene to find a large shed fully engulfed in flames with extension to several other small structures.
