An auto body shop employee was seriously injured and a firefighter suffered injuries in a three-alarm fire in Northeast Baltimore.
Baltimore Assistance Fire Chief of Operations John Eid said crews were called around 10:44 a.m. to a fire at a structure fire at an auto body shop behind adjacent rowhomes in the 2000 block of North Rose Street.
An employee of the auto body shop suffered serious burns and was taken to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Burn Center with life-threatening injuries.
Eid said there was a mayday call during the firefight in a two-story rowhome behind the auto body shop, where there was smoke. Units went inside and a firefighter fell from the second floor to the first floor during entry. The firefighter was stable and was taken to a hospital for an evaluation.
Eid said firefighters will remain at the scene for some time, and fire officials ask the public to avoid the area of Sinclair Lane and Belair Road.
