Baltimore City Office of Emergency Management has advised residents, visitors, and patrons to avoid the area of E Baltimore St and Guilford Ave due to an underground fire that occurred Saturday afternoon.

The 21217 ZIP code, which encompasses the Penn North neighborhood where Thursday’s overdoses took place, was by far the leader in naloxone administration by city fire personnel from 2022 to 2024.

Progress has been complicated by the presence of steam, which contributes to challenging conditions underground.

The owner of a downtown Baltimore restaurant near where an underground fire broke out is concerned about potential long-term effects.

An Anne Arundel County fire engine caught fire Monday afternoon in Baltimore City. Anne Arundel County Fire Department Reserve truck 88 was out of service and was in Baltimore City receiving maintenance from a private business.
