UPDATED Sept. 14 at 9:35 a.m.
A house fire on Rocking Horse Road in Rockville began in a sound-proof room in the basement and appeared to be caused by the malfunction of a CPU that overheated as it rested sideways on a table amidst outdated electrical equipment, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Spokesperson Pete Piringer.
Two adults were displaced and the amount of damage was estimated at $200,000, he said.
