3-Alarm Building Fire-Baltimore January 14, 2015
#1
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:

About 3 1/2 hours later. Most of the big fire was done. Moving the handlines in:

Great shots! Love the ice on the street sign with the apparatus in the background, shows how cold it is. 

 

Thanks for sharing.
