Baltimore resumes after a vast blaze that destroyed 140 acres of business districts valued at about 126 million dollars. Officials say vaults largely survived with over 290 million recovered from one trust company, and the city plans coordinated state and local recovery, with passes restricted and crews clearing debris as merchants reopen offices.
