Red Cross assisting families after apartment fire

Crews from the Baltimore County Fire Department responded to a two-alarm apartment fire Wednesday afternoon in Parkville.

 

According to the Baltimore County Fire Department, the fire broke out at 3:55p.m. in the 2900 block of Andorra Court.

 

First arriving units reported two balconies on the third floor on fire.

 

When crews broke through the building to fight the fire inside, searches to locate any occupants trapped turned up empty.

 

A second-alarm was then called for additional manpower.  The fire was contained at 4:10p.m.

 

The American Red Cross of the Chesapeake Region are providing families with financial assistance to replace food, clothing, and other necessities.

 

Red Cross workers will continue to follow up with everyone involved until all their immediate needs have been met. 

 

No injuries were reported.  The cause of the fire was not immediately available.
