LIVE: Massive fire shuts I-83 in Baltimore - wbaltv.com

God Bless ALL.

Did someone actually consider calling for help from the MD National Guard, our MD Army Guard (both Chinooks and Blackhawks) have the equipment in the form of Bambi buckets which hold over 2,600 gallons of water, a dozen or so drops would've doused the blaze quickly, and an air attack is much more effective than a ground assault.

So now we have I83 closed, Key Bridge gone, Beltway a parking lot as usual…..maybe I95 is open at the tunnel again after yesterday’s truck wreck?

MORNING TICKET BOOK 🤦

This was insane. I saw it driving north on JFX as flames were 40 to 50 feet in the air.

Jason Newton is great, excellent coverage on the scene thank you!

So much judgment throughout the earth 🌏

Lumber pike fire, they happen and about all the fire department would be able to do with that is the same as a pallet yard fire. Set up with big water (ladder tower hoses, etc.)to prevent spread around the seat of the fire, and lett ti burn out like a fireplace.. He has spot fire teams to stomp oout spot fires from wind borne brands to prevent spread down wind. It looks like the Chief know what needs to be done and is getting about doing it. Hopefully the wind cooperates, I know from California exprience it is all about mother nature and the wind cooperating.

This is going to be some scary and uncomfortable stuff, but it is getting handled.

I know from logging operations that you do not want to stack wood chips or sawdust too deep. A deep stack of chips can ferment at temperatures hot engough to ignite. Being an operation not in logging country they may have made a mistake based on lack of common knowledge. An investigation will tell the story, hopefully this is a dramativc learning experience and does not turn into a lives lost tragedy.
