Queen Anne, MD (January 16, 2025) – A tragic mobile home fire in Queen Anne’s County claimed the lives of two individuals on Wednesday afternoon. Emergency crews responded to the 400 block of Fox Meadow Rd at approximately 2:15 p.m. after reports of a fire in a double-wide mobile home.
Upon arrival, first responders from multiple fire departments, including Queen Anne Hillsboro, Cordova, Ridgely, Denton, and others, found the home fully engulfed in flames, with power lines down in the vicinity.

Investigators are on-site to determine the cause of the fire, and additional details are expected as the investigation unfolds.

Regular maintenance of electrical systems and heating units is also essential to prevent potential fire hazards.
