With each pass, the heavy equipment wipes away part of Northwest Baltimore’s history, which a four-alarm fire early Friday left behind.
“I was asleep,” said Zaid Albarmatli, the owner of Famous Food Mart, “Some people call me, the police, and they tell me, ‘There’s a fire around your store and house.’”
The fire started in a vacant building in the 22-hundred block of North Fulton Avenue, and fire crews arrived at 3:42 in the morning, about a minute after the call came in.
Still, with intense winds fueling the flames, they simply couldn’t stop it.
