Original Post: Oct. 10: On Monday evening, equipment on a Greenbelt playground caught fire, according to Prince George's County Fire/EMS spokesperson Mark Brady, who said it was attributed to juveniles playing with matches.

Around 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Greenbelt Volunteer Fire Department units arrived to find a climbing wall on fire and extinguished the fire without incident, according to Brady, who said the equipment was destroyed.

Greenbelt resident and Patch columnist, Dawn Mooney, tweeted Patch several times about a suspected fire, saying that the Greenbelt Police Department had Ora Glen Drive closed off at about 5:20 p.m. on Monday. She did not see a fire but had heard from a resident on Ora Glen Drive that there might have been a fire on South Ora Court.

Patch has been in touch with the County Fire/EMS Department in an effort to determine if the playground is in the proximity of where Mooney heard a fire may have occurred.
