MULTIPLE CHILDREN RESCUED FROM DEADLY BALTIMORE CITY DWELLING FIRE



January 13, 2015

Details:
Multiple calls came in reporting a house on fire.  Engine 13 arrived with fire showing from the 2nd and 3rd floor of a 3 story middle of the group dwelling.  Interior crews quickly located and removed 3 victims who were transported to the hospital.  A 4th victim was located shortly after the bulk of the fire was knocked down and was pronounced dead on the scene.

The fire was placed under control in 45 minutes. 
Excellent work by the Baltimore City Fire Department.
Pictures sent to us by an off duty FF





A short but powerful clip sent to us from a bystander of a chaotic scene this afternoon at a fatal fire. Box 13-11 800 Blk Whitelock St. 1/13/15 This video gives a short insight to what firefighters go through when encountering a job like this. 

As you can see in the video all important actions are taking place, lines going in service, ladders going up and firemen masking up getting ready to make entry. While all of this may seem disorganized to the general public these firefighters are some of the best and this proves that if you perform your duties to the best of your ability everything falls into place and you can effectively and efficiently put a knock on a fire like this, rescue people and prevent further property damage.
