Fire at Chesapeake Gas Plant Destroys Three Acres South Baltimore
A Saturday morning blaze at the Chesapeake Gas Company plant near Riverside Park, South Baltimore, leveled a three acre site. Three firefighters suffered injuries. one man broken pelvis, one with a broken ankle, all expected to recover. The fire halted operations, with damage to materials valued at about $3,000 and overall losses near $40,000. A wagon blocked hose access, causing a derailment that threw crew from the carriage. Chief William Larkin narrowly avoided injury as his team battled the flames. The origin of the fire remains undetermined, but sparks from machinery in a drying room may have ignited dry bone powder. The plant had been irregularly operated for two years prior to the blaze.
