CENTREVILLE, MD - An early Monday morning fire resulted in significant damage to a double-wide trailer in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, displacing 24 people.

At approximately 6:30 a.m. on December 8, 2025, the Sudlersville Volunteer Fire Company, along with several other fire departments, were dispatched to a structure fire in the 300 block of Roe Ingleside Road in Centreville, Maryland. Upon arrival, firefighters found a single-family dwelling engulfed in flames.

According to the occupant, he woke to the smell of smoke and alerted the other residents, allowing everyone to exit the home safely. No injuries were reported.
