Shortly before 6 a.m. on Friday, March 11, 2016, Baltimore City Fire Department Engine 23 was alerted for a fire alarm sounding at 419 West Redwood Street in downtown Baltimore. The 6-story building houses the University of Maryland Faculty Physicians medical offices. Engine 23’s crew was on scene searching the building for about an hour when firefighters discovered a fire in the basement generator room with heavy smoke and requested a full box assignment and BGE to the scene. Firefighters made an initial attack and needed assistance from the utility company to shut down power; once that was done, the smoke conditions worsened and firefighters found the fire had extended into the ceiling between the basement and first floor and burned through the floor joists. Crews were on scene until shortly after 1 p.m.
