VIDEO: Two of Baltimoreâs firefighters were injured as they battled separate two-alarm fires on Wednesday, the local firefighters union said.
The first fire started in Northwest Baltimore and emitted heavy smoke. Firefighters had to close off part of Reisterstown Road as they battled the blaze. The union said shortly before 5 p.m. firefighters responded to the scene at the 5200 block of Reisterstown Road in the Woodmere neighborhood.
They found fire showing from multiple two-story row homes. Fire officials say that one house was vacant and two were occupied.
One of the firefighters suffered âminor injuries,â Baltimore Fire Chief Roman Clark said.
âIt was pretty intense,â one man said. âI mean, it was a lot of smoke and it was heavy and it covered the sky, really, especially during the beginning.â
