On Sunday, October 5, 2014 flames broke out in a vacant 2-story stone building formerly housing the Volunteers of America in downtown Baltimore.

Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire on the second floor and initated an exterior attack.

As I walked in the front flames showed again on the A-B corner and through the roof:

Good job all around. Not a criticism of you but the sepia look is difficult to shoot with all the modern stuff.

Awesome pics! Is there a specific company that is assigned to picking up the snorkel and putting it in service? Thanks.

Its assigned to Truck 1 at the Oldtown Station, they usually bring it when requested but any company can bring it to the fireground if needed.

A lot of people in the 2nd Battalion are qualified on it.
