Baltimore University Campus Erupts in Massive Fire, Causes Extensive Damage
A massive fire broke out at Baltimore University late last night, engulfing one of its historic buildings and causing extensive damage. The blaze, which erupted around midnight, quickly spread, despite rapid efforts by local fire crews to contain it. Several university facilities, including classrooms, offices, and laboratories, have reportedly sustained severe damage, though no injuries have been reported as students and staff were promptly evacuated.
Witnesses described intense flames lighting up the sky, with plumes of smoke visible from miles away. Fire officials have been on the scene for hours, working tirelessly to fully extinguish the blaze and prevent further damage to nearby structures. The university has announced that classes will be suspended for the rest of the week as they assess the damage and begin clean-up efforts.
University President issued a statement early this morning, saying, “Our thoughts are with all students, faculty, and staff affected by this tragic event. We are immensely grateful for the swift actions of emergency responders who ensured the safety of everyone on campus.” An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the fire, though initial reports suggest it may have started in one of the building’s older electrical systems.
