BALTIMORE, MD (WBFF) — A person was found dead Friday morning after a three-alarm fire tore through a rowhouse in Central Baltimore’s Barclay neighborhood and caused a partial building collapse, according to the Baltimore City Fire Department.
Firefighters responded around 12:19 p.m. Thursday to the 2200 block of Guilford Avenue for an active structure fire. Crews arriving on scene found heavy fire conditions in a 2 1/2-story middle-of-the-block rowhouse, with flames spreading through the second and third floors and into neighboring homes.
Authorities have not publicly identified the victim.
The fire quickly escalated to a three-alarm response as crews launched what Fire Chief James Wallace described Thursday as an “aggressive and very heroic attack” inside the building in an effort to rescue a person believed to be trapped inside.
