FIRE AT BETHESDA RESTAURANT

UPDATED: 10:34 AM

Montgomery County firefighters responded to a fire at Chicken on the Run at 4933 St. Elmo Avenue around 9:50 AM this morning. A woodburning stove was the source of a fire that spread via the stove's ductwork, MCFRS spokesperson Pete Piringer said.

St. Elmo Avenue, and some lanes on Old Georgetown Road, are blocked by fire operations at this time. Firefighters are checking for any extension of the fire beyond the cooking stove's ductwork, Piringer said.
