Baltimore City Fire Department provided an update and shared visuals from the scene. “At 6:37 p.m., the Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD) was dispatched to 2203 Langley St. for a reported fire. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered an exterior fire that had begun spreading to a two-story dwelling. Officials confirmed that gasoline and propane materials were involved in the incident,” they wrote.

“The fire has since been contained and brought under control by BCFD personnel. No injuries have been reported at this time. The Maryland Department of the Environment has been requested to respond to the scene due to the involvement of hazardous materials. The cause of the fire remains under investigation,” they added.

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. Authorities have said the cause is still under investigation.

One page cited scanner app information and said “Fire in the Commercial Office Building is Out Checking for extension etc. Fire now running along the railroad tracks with Brush Truck Attack in progress. Fuel Spill into drain with Hazmat. Booms being placed for containment. Fuel and Propane found on Scene.”

The blaze appeared to be massive and could be seen from afar. “So what’s on fire right outside Baltimore?,” a person asked showing smoke from a distance.
