MONTGOMERY COUNTY
Phone Outage Might Hit Aspen Hill
A Montgomery County telephone pole fire yesterday caused an outage that could affect phone service through the weekend in the Aspen Hill and Laytonsville areas, and county officials are urging residents to go to their nearest fire station if they need emergency help. It took fire officials about 45 minutes to extinguish the blaze, spokesman Pete Piringer said.
There are several fire stations in the affected area, all with direct phone lines to the emergency command center:
Station 12, at 10617 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring; Station 24, at 13216 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring; Station 5, at 10620 Connecticut Ave., Kensington; Station 18, at 12251 Georgia Ave., Wheaton; Station 25, at 14401 Connecticut Ave., Aspen Hill; Station 21, at 12500 Veirs Mill Rd., Rockville; and Station 17, at 21400 Laytonsville Rd., Laytonsville.
