 The Hagerstown Fire Department responded to a massive house fire that killed three people and hospitalized two others on Wednesday.

The fire happened around 7 p.m., when it consumed the entire home on Linganor Avenue and spread to the siding of the neighboring house.

While firefighters were able to control the spread, the home was a total loss.

There is currently no update on the condition of the two hospitalized individuals or the relation of the five people.

The Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal will be assisting HFD in the response and is still investigating the cause of the fire.
