Saturday July 8th just after noon the Bosnic home at 1999 Alfalfa Court nearly burned to the ground. Thick black smoke could be seen clearly from Liberty Road as flames engulfed the roof of a once beautiful two story colonial standing proudly on the corner of Cable and Alfalfa streets in the Harvest Farm neighborhood of Eldersburg. The heat was so intense from the garage fire that the neighbor’s house suffered severe siding damage. Firefighters
from Sykesville, Gamber, Winfield After mowing the yard one family member was in the shower and was alerted by the smoke of smoke alarms. Realizing the garage was on fire sources say the occupant immediately left and called 911. The exact cause of the blaze is not known at this time although the fire appeared to have centered in and around the garage. These pictures illuminate the damage caused by the fire. The weather was kind as there was essentially no wind fueling the fire, which helped minimize the damage to adjoining properties. Staff Reporter
