It has been a long while since we’ve run a picture of the day. This one comes to us courtesy of Baltimore Firefighters Union Local 734. It’s the only image we’ve seen of the fire conditions and frustration presented to Baltimore’s firefighters early this morning in the 2300 block of Homewood Avenue. Inside one of two homes burning were the bodies of three adults and three children. According to The Baltimore Sun, “Elnor and Richard Satterfield died in the blaze, along with their granddaughter Tiara Gholston, 26, and her three children, Amari, 9, Darryon, 3, and Daelyn, 1.”
The winter fire season appears to have come early in our region. It has been an extremely busy eight days for Baltimore firefighters, with numerous multiple alarm fires. But this, of course, is the most tragic of those fires.
