Baltimore Makes Stand Against Citywide Fire
A massive blaze devastated Baltimore's wholesale district starting near Hopkins Place, with 550 buildings destroyed and losses estimated from 50 million to 200 million dollars. Firemen from multiple cities fought flames that looted downtown blocks, dynamiting buildings but failing to stop the fire, as 6,000 firms were wiped out and authorities imposed martial law while aid poured in from New York, Philadelphia, and beyond.
