Baltimore City firefighters battled a 3-alarm warehouse fire on New Years Eve.  Units arrived to find heavy smoke showing from a 200×400′ commercial warehouse building with exposures.  Fire was soon pushing through the roof of the structure.  A second alarm was sounded almost immediately upon arrival, and a third alarm quickly followed to bring more manpower and equipment to the scene.

Firefighters protected exposures and set up ladder-pipe operations, at times having five master streams working during the defensive fight.

Firefighters encountered access issues to the building since the back side of the structure rests up against a cemetery/park area, with limited access for equipment.  More than 100 firefighters and 60 pieces of equipment were on the scene throughout the incident including the canteen and rehab units from the Box 414 Association.

Photos here are from both myself and photographer Stanley Jaworski.  Stanley arrived earlier and captured the initial firefight.  Trevor shot the master stream operations and crews taking up once the fire was knocked.

Happy New Year!

Baltimore City fire units were alerted to the dwelling/building fire on Tuesday morning (5/19/15) at the corner of E. Lombard and S. Conkling Streets in the Baltimore Highlands.  Upon arrival firefighters encountered smoke and fire coming from the 2nd floor and roof of the building.  A second alarm was toned out bringing in additional manpower and resources.  The fire was quickly knocked and extensive overhaul was performed on a day of hot and humid weather reaching the high 80s.  The Baltimore Box 414 Association responded with their canteen rigs to provide hydration and refreshments for the firefighters.

Here are some photos of rigs and crews working on the scene during the overhaul process.
