Six family members are unaccounted for after a 16,000-square-foot mansion was destroyed by a four-alarm fire Monday morning, Anne Arundel County fire officials confirmed.

"From the family, we know who's unaccounted for," Anne Arundel County Fire Department spokesman Capt. Russ Davies said, though he declined to say who specifically could not be located. "If you look at the damage, you know, it would not be a stretch to think that if there were occupants that they did not survive the fire."

Earlier, Davies had said the home's occupants might have been out of town.

An alarm monitoring company and a neighbor who saw flames reported the fire in the 900 block of Childs Point Road about 3:30 a.m., according to Capt. Russ Davies, spokesman for the Anne Arundel County Fire Department. When firefighters arrived, they found heavy smoke and flames through the first floor, second floor and roof of the home.
