Firefighters from multiple jurisdictions battle a large blaze in Building 54, home to the 902nd Military Intelligence Group.

Sixty-nine firefighters started streaming to the scene just after 3 p.m., said Lt. Russ Davies, a spokesman for the county fire department. Firefighters from other counties and Fort Meade also aided in bringing the blaze under control.
