Baltimore County westside firefighters were dispatched shortly after 2 a.m. Wednesday, May 29th for a reported apartment building fire in the 3400 block of Barry Paul Rd at the Northwest Crossing Apartments in Randallstown, (Fire Box 18-5) near Northwest Hospital. Fire Dispatch received multiple calls and reports of civilians jumping from balconies. BCoFD Engine 18 (Randallstown career station) arrived to find heavy fire through the roof and immediately requested a second alarm. Firefighters made an initial aggressive interior attack but were forced to back out and transition to defensive operations due to the intensity of the fire. It took firefighters just over one hour to get the fire under control. Eight apartment units were involved, with approximately 40 residents displaced. Five civilians and a career firefighter were transported to hospitals; three civilians were transported to Sinai Hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries, two civilians were transported to Sinai with minor injuries, and the BCoFD firefighter was transported to Northwest Hospital with minor injuries. The cause remains under investigation by BCoPD fire investigators.
