A house fire In Baltimore County early this morning right behind the Woodmoor shopping center on Liberty Road where I used to hang out as a kid. A woman was rescued shortly after the arrival of firefighters. Pikesville VFC photographer Michael Schwartzberg (AKA FirePix1075) took the video above and the picture below.
Shortly after 2 a.m. on Monday, November 17, PVFC Engine 321 and Squad 322 responded with other Baltimore County westside units to a reported dwelling fire at 3501 Essex Road @ Brompton Road (Fire Box 3-3) in Woodlawn. While units were en route, Fire Dispatch advised that Baltimore County Police units were on scene reporting fire showing and possible people still inside the dwelling.
First arriving BCoFD Engine 3 reported heavy fire showing from a 1.5 story house, and several civilians were also reporting victims were still inside. Firefighters immediately entered the house and found a woman at the base of the stairs and they brought her outside to emergency medical personnel. The woman was transported by medic unit to an area hospital.
E321 was the fourth arriving engine, and its crew split up, doing a primary search in the basement and a secondary search on the first floor. The engine crew also assisted with opening up on the first floor, and the Squad crew provided scene lighting and additional assistance inside. Command requested BCoFD Fire Investigation Division to the scene to determine a cause.
