Theres a fire house here literally around the block. And you can see theyre saying it started like right near the 6th floor elevator shaft on sixth floor but despite best efforts firefighters, 60 minute later, the video speaks for itself. You can see what it looked like. Aalarms were sound todd pull all of the firefighters out of the building and crews could do nothing more than to attack it from the outside. The building is a city block long. Its called the fuse 47 project. 250 apartments, retail scores, parking garage. Threequarters of the way completed and that is also some of what contributed to it took a massive effort to even try to battle this blaze.

Good morning, guys, yeah, still a massive response here as you mentioned some 24 hours almost after this fire. You can see they are still up there working. Just incredible amount of water has been just flooded into this building. The building is almost a city block long and now there is a concern not only about the hot spots but about the possibility of collapse as well just because of the possible structural damage and also the water that is in that building. Now i talked to a couple of construction workers yesterday inside the build when it began when that fire began. They gave me video showing how small it was initially. It was just up there in the top corner on that 6th floor there near the elevator shaft they said and there were no smoke alarms or sprinklelers and then they were all told to get out. Look how it was 60 minute literally those firefighters had been working for an hour to try to put out the flames. It really was almost a futile effort. There was a fifth alarm sounded and they had to pull all of the fire personnel out building and crew koz do nothing more than attack from the outside. Now this project is called fuse 47. Its supposed to have 250 apartments, retail stores, parking garage it was supposed to be ready for occupancy in july of 2017. Smoke also was a problem as well. The rain, the cloud cover, really start of pushed all that smoke sdoup. This is a photo i took yesterday outside of university of maryland and you can see it looks like fog there. This is several problems away from the fire. And its all just happening in the air. That forced campus to close yesterday as you mentioned and also some Senior Citizens nearby had to be relocatesed as well and several things complicated the Fire Fighting efforts here. And again the fact that the building was under construction and there was no fortunately all those construction workers were able to get out and also because its a building under construction im told there were lots of Raw Materials in there as well as places, pockets where the fire can go and hide. And so that is why it is still active scene at this hour. And not expecting to have a anymore active fire popup. But still a couple of hot spots you can see.
