Baltimore City, MD (Box 6-27) 3-Alarm Building Fire 1/24/2013 - Guest - 01-26-2013

On Thursday, January 24, 2013 shortly after midnight center city fire companies were dispatched for a reported building fire at the corner of N. Calvert & E. Read Streets in the historic Mount Vernon district adjacent to Downtown, Baltimore.  Engine Co. 6 from Oldtown Fire Station arrived first in reporting heavy fire showing from a 3 story corner building and Battalion 2, also from Oldtown, immediately requested a working fire. Not too long after that, a 2nd alarm was requested followed by a 3rd alarm minutes later. The building consisted of offices on the first floor and apartments on the 2nd and 3rd floors.  It took nearly 3 hours for firefighters to bring the blaze under control.  Fortunately, no injuries were reported and the cause is currently under investigation.

 

Once again by the time I arrived I missed all visible fire from the exterior and only caught smoke shots...

Thought this was such a neat shot here. The fire was right directly across the street from 16 Truck's old house.
