The first responders were called to an apartment building in Elkridge around 4:30 following the report of a balcony fire. They found the 3-story building engulfed with heavy smoke and flames showing from the back of the structure, but all residents had been safely evacuated, according to a release shared to Facebook.
"Immediately, [Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue Services] began to get the fire under control but the fire quickly reached the roof and all personnel evacuated the structure and pivoted to a defensive strategy putting water on the fire from the outside," the release said, noting that it took about 2 hours to fully put out the fire.
