A passerby spotted the flames and called 911, allowing crews to arrive before the fire reached the main structures.
Roughly 50 firefighters from Parsonsburg and neighboring companies responded to the scene. Crews worked aggressively to contain the blaze, bringing it under control within 20 minutes despite dry conditions that allowed the fire to spread rapidly.
Investigators determined the cause to be accidental, tracing the ignition to a brush pile that grew out of control and extended to nearby structures.
No injuries were reported, and firefighters remained on scene afterward to extinguish hot spots and ensure the fire did not rekindle.
