North Baltimore Fire was again called to the scene just after noon, on July 4, as the fire did rekindle.
UPDATE:
An NBXpress reader, Dawn Williams sent us and email and some photos of the NBFD response to the rekindle. These were added Sunday afternoon (4:34 pm)
Dawn Williams says: I was awakened at 2:30 a.m. by one of the children saying, “mom, mom there is a house on fire!”
I got up and saw a towering inferno being taken care of by multiple fire departments. By 3 a.m. the huge fire was well under control.
But, at about noon, the fire crew showed up and began spraying the smoking remains again.
