Two people were killed in a five-alarm fire in North Baltimore early Tuesday that affected at least eight rowhomes and drew a large response from the Baltimore City Fire Department.
Fire Department spokesman John Marsh said the two people were found after a “methodical search” of the scene in the 3400 block of Keswick Road.
The identities of the two people were not immediately released Tuesday afternoon. The fire broke out around 5:30 a.m. and engulfed multiple residential buildings. No firefighters were injured, Marsh said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. It appears to have originated in the center of the block before spreading quickly to other homes, causing at least one to collapse, Marsh said.
