According to the Maryland State Fire Marshal, someone reported the fire around 4:55am.

The building sitting at 125 Walnut Ln was engulfed in flames, according to officials.

The night before at 9:08pm, some who lived there reported calling emergency services regarding smoke coming from the attic.

Crews from the Singerly Fire Company arrived at the scene and confirmed the fire started as a result of the home's electrical system.

Firefighters would put out the flames and secure power to the home.

The same electrical issue may have caused the fire the following morning, according to officials.
