Baltimore City firefighters last (Monday) night were blocked by snow after a rowhouse caught fire in the un-plowed 3400 block of Mount Pleasant Avenue in Highlandtown. Make sure you check out the fireball that shoots out the front of the rowhouse in the first video below by Angela Hernandez.
Tim Prudente, The Baltimore Sun:
A fire truck turned east down Mount Pleasant. It was nearly 9 p.m. and the driver plowed through a snow bank at the street’s entrance. He drove that snow bank back several yards and stopped. The street was impassable.
Battalion Chief Rick Lago hurried from the truck through the snow. Neighbors had gathered. The flames were burning through the row house windows. Lago called to some men on the street and they all dragged the fire hoses down the snowy block. Gavidia helped, too.
Happen right across the street wtf
