A fire caused about $100,000 in damage to a mobile home in Severn on Sunday morning, and officials said there were no working smoke detectors in the unit.
Capt. James Rostek of the Anne Arundel County Fire Department said crews responded at 4:18 a.m. Sunday to the 1000 block of Egret Court. They found a mobile home fully engulfed in flames.
Rostek said all of the occupants of the house escaped and there were no injuries reported. He said the cause of the fire is believed to be accidental.
He said an investigation revealed that none of the smoke detectors in the house were operational.

Elizabeth - you may be correct. But where is Egret? Not familiar with that street and can't find it on a map.

Egret is in "new" mobile home community across Route 170 from Norcross Lane. This is about a 1/4 mile south of the Severn Fire Station on Route 170.
