Assistant Baltimore City Fire Chief Charles Svehla said the fire quickly spread to other unoccupied buildings in the 1800 block of Ramsay Street and to houses on both sides of South Fulton Avenue. He said the wind may have fanned the flames and caused the fire to spread quickly.
The fire reached the 300 block of Mount Street, where Roxana Guarvavo lives with two children, her roommate and her roommate’s son.
Guarvavo was at work when her 14-year-old son called her to tell her firefighters were ordering them to evacuate their home.
”He called me and said he was out of the house,” she said.
