One person was taken to a hospital following a house fire in Northwest Baltimore. Officials say the fire was categorized as 2-alarm and has since been contained.

Baltimore’s aging dispatch system that tracks public safety calls experienced about a dozen “failures” throughout 2024 and 2025, City Council President Zeke Cohen said.

Emergency responders were working to rescue a person trapped inside an elevated sand hopper on the 10800 block of Beaver Dam Road in Cockeysville on Friday afternoon.

The County Fire Department is requesting a medical evacuation for someone trapped waist-deep inside a sand hopper Friday.

In two days, apparatus division personnel have responded to about 30 calls to free DC ambulances and fire trucks.
