Fire closes section of expressway, light rail line and roads and schools as more than 100 firefighters tackle blaze
Firefighters were battling a huge, wind-driven brushfire at a Baltimore wood recycling yard that closed a section of the expressway into the city’s downtown, the neighboring light rail line and nearby roads and schools on Friday morning.
Crews were called to the Camp Small yard, where large trees and logs are stacked about 30ft (about 9 meters) high, after 5pm on Thursday, the Baltimore city fire chief, James Wallace, said at a briefing.
