    Firefighters battled a early morning house fire in the Chestnut Ridge area of Baltimore County.

    Fire crews got to the single-family home in the 11200 block of Woodland Drive, off of Greenspring Avenue in Lutherville, shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday.

    The area was not equipped with hydrants, so a tanker-strike team was dispatched to provide firefighters with a water supply, firefighters said.

    No one was hurt, and the house was reportedly vacant at the time of the fire.

    Officials said firefighters spent several hours trying to extinguish hot spots.
