A fire broke out in the 2200 block of Langley Street, Baltimore, Maryland on Thursday. Visuals from the scene showed a large response with fire trucks attempting to douse the flames.
One person raised an alarm about hazardous materials, saying “Firefighters are fighting a 2 alarm fire that involve hazardous materials in Southwest Baltimore.”
One person claimed the fire was ‘gas-fed’ and shared a video. “Firefighters responded to a two-alarm fire in Baltimore’s Saint Paul neighborhood this evening. A large column of smoke could be seen from north Baltimore. Initial reports suggest that the fire was gas-fed,” they wrote. HT.com could not independently verify these claims.
