Missing brick caused $200,000 in damages on Braemer Circle.
"A fire was burning inside a fireplace about 2:30 a.m. at the home on Braemer Circle in Fort Washington and the missing brick allowed the fire to spread, Prince George's County Fire Department spokesman Mark Brady said on Twitter.
The fire reached the inside walls and the attic, causing $200,000 in damages before firefighters quenched the flames, Brady said.
Photos showed what looked like a massive fireball come out of the top of the house.
The homeowner escaped unharmed."
