Prince George's County fire department spokesman Mark Brady says firefighters responded to a report of a fire in the 500 block of Garrett A. Morgan Boulevard about 8 p.m. Tuesday, where they found a blaze consuming the back wall of a three-story townhouse. He says the fire bypassed the home's sprinkler system and smoke alarms and extended to two other townhouses.
As many as six families from the row of townhouses were displaced.
Brady says the fire appears to have started in the garage area.

Sounds to me like it by-passed the fire walls as well. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story

With the current debate about sprinkler systems, it would be good to have much more details about this incident.
