On Friday, January 16th Baltimore County dispatched a box for a fully involved house fire with multiple calls.

They arrived and found one dwelling fully involved with extension to the one next door. They set up defensive operations and entered the exposure with an attic fire. The original one collapsed and was completely destroyed. Supposedly it was under renovation and the owner was asleep in the RV in the side yard. He was awaken by the fire and managed to escape.

Around 1:00AM this morning Box Alarm 8-3 was sounded for a building fire at Lafayette Ave. and Division St.

I decided to brave the cold and take it in!!

Units arrived with heavy fire on the top floor and through the roof. Battalion Chief 3 arrived, made it a working fire and struck out 3 alarms within 10 minutes.

The block-long 4-story building was under renovation and was inside a chain link fence. Extra engines were dispatched to chase embers in the neighborhood.

 

First shot about 25 minutes into it as I arrived:

On midday Friday I caught a worker at 541 S. Monroe Street.  It was a vacant with a lot of debris and collapsed inside. Engine 14 arrived and took a line in the front.

They didn't get too far in when one of the guys got caught in the debris. The other cews guys got him out and Battalion Chief 3 pulled everyone out to exterior operations.

It burned pretty good inside and extended to the second floor and both sides and at one point went through the roof. It was contained in 30 minutes and brought under control in around an hour. No injuries.

Mostly smoke when I arrived. There was heavy smoke from the first and second floors, never any fire blowing out anywhere!
