1 person hospitalized, 2 rescued through window after fire in West Baltimore
BALTIMORE - The Baltimore City Fire Department is investigating what caused a three-alarm fire early Tuesday morning that left one person injured.
Just before 2 a.m., fire crews were called to the 2100 block of Bolton Street near Reservoir Street.
Crews said that when they arrived, the blaze quickly spread to additional units, causing them to upgrade the fire to three alarms and call in additional personnel.
Neighbors said they woke up to popping sounds and an orange glow. It's unclear if anybody was inside the original home that caught fire.
No firefighters were injured, but one resident was transported to an area hospital. Other residents were able to escape the fire on their own.
Firefighters rescued two people from one of the affected homes through a window, according to BCFD Public Information Officer John Marsh.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. The Office of the Fire Marshal is investigating this incident.
