Motorists reported plumes of smoke along the Baltimore Washington Parkway, I-95 and other roadways throughout the region. Maryland officials said I-95 was closed in both directions just south of Md. 198.
"It's out of control," said Mark Brady, a spokesman for the Prince George's County Fire Department of the Laurel blaze. "It's burning extremely hot."
