Fire at Frey Agricultural Products Farm & Garden

Unionville, Md (JK) – April 14th, 2024

No injuries were reported.

Frederick County Fire Crews were dispatched to a two-alarm fire at Frey Agricultural Products Farm and Garden Center in Unionville. The incident occurred on Sunday evening at the company’s barn and office facility located in the 8500 block of Woodville Road between Unionville Road and Emerson Burrier Road.

The fire, which involved a large amount of mulch, was initially reported at 5:10 PM. Firefighters requested a tanker task force and the fire escalated to a second alarm.

Fire officials faced challenges due to a significant number of onlookers, causing traffic problems that hindered the arrival of fire apparatus at the scene. As a result, Woodville Road had to be closed between the Frey Agriculture facility and Unionville Road.

The fire was brought under control by 10:00 PM.
