Firefighters in Baltimore have been working tirelessly to battle a massive brushfire at a wood recycling yard that has caused significant disruptions in the city. The fire, which started at the Camp Small yard, quickly spread due to high winds, leading to the closure of a section of the expressway into downtown Baltimore, as well as the neighboring light rail line and nearby roads and schools.
The fire was first reported on Thursday evening, with firefighters arriving to find a large pile of trees and logs engulfed in flames. The challenging conditions, exacerbated by the wind, made it difficult for crews to gain control of the fire. Approximately 100 to 125 firefighters have been on the scene, working to contain the blaze.
