BALTIMORE — Firefighters are currently battling a devastating blaze in West Baltimore.
The call was made at 5:30 p.m. to dispatch firefighters to the 5000 block of Old Frederick Road for reports of smoke in the area.
When they arrived, they found the smoke was coming from an old, vacant Victorian-style mansion that caught fire.
Fire officials say that due to the intensity of the fire and the size of the mansion, a second alarm of fire was requested.
High winds also intensified the flames, causing fire officials to raisE the call to a third alarm.
Almost 100 firefighters were called to battle the fire.
No cause has been determined, and no injuries have been reported.
