Around 7:30 am on Wednesday, February 20, 2019, Baltimore City Fire Department units were dispatched to Fire Box 29-82 reporting a building fire near the intersection of West Belvedere Avenue and Park Heights Avenue, across the street from the Pimlico Race Track. First-arriving Engine 46 reported smoke showing from a vacant 1-story restaurant and firefighters stretched an attack line, while Truck 27 laddered the roof. During an aggressive attack, firefighters located fire inside the 75 x 125 foot building as well as in the roof area, with extension to several apartment units that were exposures. The fire eventually burned through the roof, which collapsed, and firefighters used several handlines to bring the Working Fire under control shortly after 9 am.
