A brush fire at the Holiday Point Marina in Edgewater, Maryland developed into a four-alarm incident on Sunday. It was reported as a brush fire, and over a period of several hours was fought by about 94 firefighters, 40 land-based units, and two fire boats. The fire spread to one structure and at least one small boat.
