Just before midnight last night Baltimore County alerted numerous stations for an apartment fire off of Tufton Road. Almost immediately several more engines were added to the initial call. E413 arrived to find a 20 room converted apartment space fully involved with fire. E413 dropped a line at the road and went down the long driveway to the fire. In all 14 engines and engine-tankers were used to shuttle water from another water source to a folding tank that was setup. E311 (Owings Mills) drafted from the tank and pumped water down the supply line to E413. Units were on scene for approximately 4 hours to completely put out the fire.
