I'm home now.
Sorry about the typos (and no, I wasn't driving at the time).
Looks like two houses were on fire behind Rolands. Those brown townhome/condo like places.
North Beach fire house is empty--everything went. Saw Dunkirk, Prince Frederick, Huntingtown also on scene. Despite the hydrants it looked like there were a few tankers on call as well. In staging were Deale, Upper Marlboro, Harwood-Lothian and a Charles county unit (Benedict?). Couldn't tell.
UPDATE:
Just put up my photos from my phone--not the best quality but gives you an idea.

We'll probably hear about it on 102.9 WKIK or 98.3 Star FM - their "southern maryland headline news" is always a week late - i'm more up to date reading the forums than waiting for them to report anything local.

Sad to hear about someones home burning. Hope everyone is ok. Prayers for the homeowners.
I was on this fire, and I must say that ALL companies did a heck of a job controlling this fire. The first Engine got their with heavy fire in both units and were able to keep it under control until other companies could arrive and assist them. A bulk of the fire was being fed by a propane tank under the deck, caused the fire to spread rapidly and most of it ended up in the attic spaces of both units. Alot of people were there watching us work, but I don't think alot od people realize how much work goes on inside. The crews that went in worked very hard and all deserve an extra pat on the back for that one. This fire was the ultimate definition of teamwork. For as much fire was there, everyone should realize that keeping this fire contained to only the two units affected is an amazing job. Just wanted to give a first person perspective of someone who was inside.
